Why should we use the return statement over print() in Python?

Philosophical Coder adding to what Abhay has explained, If you use print in a function, it will output the extra "None" causing the program to behave in an undesirable way

return is used to return the value back to function call unlike print that prints the value assigned to a variable or value returned by function call . Basically if you wanna use the value from a function at various places , just return the value and assign the function call to a variable .

But you can use the print as well. If you are using print you don't need to print the function. You can just call it . And then you will get the result you want. Please check this code for better understand . https://code.sololearn.com/cdJ7B0zYZ6Iz/?ref=app

As CHANDAN ROY said ,but only if you print the function call , simply calling function will work fine.
