Answer 1

# make return function
def isEven(num):
# only returns True if even
return num%2 == 0

# make a void function
def isEvenVoid(num):
# prints out value instead
print(num%2 == 0)

# call the functions
print( IsEven(4) )

# no typing print statement
IsEvenVoid(4)

# with print statement
print( IsEvenVoid(4) )

Output:

True
True
True
None

It outputs None and True because the IsEvenVoid() function doesnt return a value...only prints it out when it is called

Answer 2

Return is most often used to store output of a function in a variable, or as a parameter to another function

Print functions are void and do not return any value. The print function only prints stuff to the screen

return doesn't output anything, it just transports a value from one place to another.
