In Python, the print and return statements serve different purposes:
-
printStatement:- Purpose: Outputs data to the console.
- Usage: Used for displaying information to the user.
- Example:
def greet(name): print(f"Hello, {name}!") greet("Alice") # Outputs: Hello, Alice!
-
returnStatement:- Purpose: Exits a function and optionally passes a value back to the caller.
- Usage: Used to send data from a function back to where it was called.
- Example:
def add(a, b): return a + b result = add(3, 5) # result is now 8
In summary, use print to display information and return to send values from functions. If you have further questions or need examples, feel free to ask!
