What's wrong with this function? What does it mean "outside function"? P.s. I'm literally new to this.

Question

Original Code:
23 # Return the list of generated suits
24 return generated_suits

Output
File "file0.py", line 24
return generated suits
^
SyntaxError: 'return' outside function

Answer 1

A function is a block of code that has a name, possibly some arguments, and a result which is called the return value.
In Python, the function definition begins with the "def" keyword, and the function body is indented (usually the line starts with 4 whitespaces).
A return statement is only meaningful inside a function block. You get syntax error if you write return in the global scope, because there is nowhere to return to.

I recommend you start with the Python course on Sololearn, all is explained step by step.
