Please explain the working of below code as i am not able to understand

Question

What is the highest number output by this code?
def print_nums(x):
for i in range(x):
print(i)
return
print_nums(10)

Answer 1

The return function is inside the for loop. The loop only executes once, (printing 0) and exits cos of the return statement. if the return statement were outside the for loop it'll print numbers in the range 0-9
