functions and arguments

Question

I have defined function as follows:
def max(x, y):
if x >y:
return x
elif y>x:
return y
else:
print ("equal")

called function as follows:
print(max(4, 4))

result expected is :
equal

but result came as:
equal
none

please explain why none came in output

Answer 1

i think because you didn't write return statement in else .
