Writing a function in Sololearn codeplayground.

Question

Hi All,
I am writing a simple code in Python3.
I tried to wite a simple function in Sololearn codeplayground (in browser) as follows:

def add(a,b):
return a+b

add(2,3)

...and the codeplayground displayed a message:
No output
How is this possible?
Don't functions work in codeplayground?
Is there anything wrong with my way of writing?
I need your comments.

Answer 1

There was no output because there was no call to print function, function add only returns the summation result, so you need to do:

print(add(2,3))

And you'll have it on the screen.

Answer 2

Thanks. It worked. By the way is the codeplayground different from IDLE?

Answer 3

Sorry, I don't have IDLE currently cause I'm on mobile only, so I can't tell you about that : )
