Def function

Question

Hi there, why don't we use 'print' before this last 'my_func()' to run it correctly? Could you please explain the difference here between printing things and just raw function?

def my_func():
print("spam")
print("spam")
print("spam")

my_func()

Answer 1

As far as I understand your question, you want to know why didn't we use print(my_func()) ?

It is because that function doesn't return anything. It already has the print statement which prints out as soon as you call it.

Had it been a return statement, you need to use the print() to display what the function might have returned.

def my_func():
return "spam"

print(my_func())

Answer 2

there is no difference... just print() always defined in default libraries and avialable everywhere..
