Answer 1

Hasara Pramuditha Herath

Your code:

text = input()
word = input()

def search (text,word):
if word in text:
print ("Word found")
else :
print ("Word not found")

print(search(text, word))

By using the `return` statement instead of `print` within the `search` function, the function will return the desired string instead of `None`.

Answer 2

Return value inside function then print function

Or

Print value inside function and just call that function

Answer 3

Sakshi ,

it is not seen as very helpful when we are going to post a ready-made code, as long as the op has not shown his attempt here.

it is more helpful to give hints and tips, so that the op has a chance to find a solution by himself.

Answer 4

Sakshi ,

ok - sorry, i understand!

Answer 5

Lothar I'm sorry, you misunderstood, bro. I didn't provide any code myself. The user provided the code and then deleted it later.

Answer 6

Share your attempt

Answer 7

Lothar It's ok bro, don't be sorry

Answer 8

Sakshi # may I ask you a doubt, is there any difference between these two codes :

def func():
print("hello world")
func()

def funct():
return "hello world"
print(funct())

#both are same, right ? so what is the real use of return ?

Answer 9

Both are different, in the first code, this defines a function named func that prints "hello world" when called. By executing func(), the function is called and the output "hello world"

While in the other code, this defines a function named funct that returns the string "hello world" when called. By executing print(funct()).

The real use of the return statement is to pass a value back to the caller of the function.
