Question

what does returning from a function actually meant.
elaborate with examples

Answer 1

When you create a typical function you would generally say if it'll return something or will it simple just do something. If a function returns something then we can store that something in something else like a variable.

def give_back(num):
return num

var = give_back(3)

Our variable that goes by the name "var" now has the value of 3. Our function gave back to us, it's *fruitful*.

def print_text(text):
print(text)

print_text("Some text")

# Would print to screen:
# Some text

That function doesn't give back it just...does something. All functions give back something though, *fruitful functions* will return something for us to use, hence *return*. While the other functions are void. They do something but doesn't return a value, well that function actually returns a value of None which is...nothing lol.
