Why is it that the names.append(person) and return “—-“ are not executed after the for loop? Ok

Question

names = ["felix", "rona", "feona", "rozy"]

def find(person):
for name in names:
if name == person:
return "This person is already in database"
names.append(person)
return "Successfully added."

print(find("feona"))

Answer 1

they are not executed because the execution ends when the line "if name == person:" is true, at this point the return statement on the next line is executed, so the function terminates

if you call the function with a name which is not included into the list "names", the function should execute "names.append(person)" and "return 'successfully added' "
