PYTHON3 Function ad for loop

Question

def even():
for i in range(10):
i=i**2
if i%2==0:
print(i)
even()
evens=[even(),'abc']
print(evens[0])
I have written this program to better understand the function but I cannot find a way to not print two times the result.
Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Your code has two instances of even() being called, and your even function prints the output. This is why you're seeing the output twice. You could return i instead, so your last print function only displays the result once.
In the above solution, it could also be said that line 6 isn't needed.
*edit*
After looking more carefully, I realise you'd be returning the first value, so assumed you want to return a list of values. I've modified the code and included below, just ask if there's anything you don't understand.

Answer 2

Yes! Is what i meant to do.
Thanks Steve for the explanation and the source code👍🏻
