Return in generator

Question

Why doesn’t return work in a generator function. In the code here, when randint returns 1, my function returns nothing, not even none. It is strange, but I guess it just yields an empty generator iterator in that case?

Answer 1

Here, you can read what will be happen on a return in a generator function.
In short words: The call will not get the return value. The "normal" use of return in this case, is to use it w/o any argument.
