Urgent: When exactly does return end a function? (Python).

Question

Please take a look at Module 5 Quiz Question 2 & 5 and kindly explain the difference between their use of 'return'.

Answer 1

Module 5 in which course?

Generally return has two uses:
1) premature termination.
2) passing data back to the calling function.

If return is used to terminate a functions execution, no code following the return statement within the function will be executed.

Example 1 permiture termination :
{
print( 1) ;
return;
print (2);
}
Output // 1
The second print is not executed.

Example 2 returning data:
func f(a) {
return a+a;
}
f(4);
//Output 8
passed a+a to the calling function.

Answer 3

@Alexandra, please give links of your module questions.

1st example -

Certain functions, such as int or str, return a value that can be used later.
To do this for your defined functions, you can use the return statement.

Example:

def Max(x,y):
if x>=y
return x
else:
return y

In the above function if x is x>y or x=y then it returns the value of x , otherwise it will return the value of y. This part is the conditional part of the Function.

Now values put as

print (Max(4,7))
z = Max(8,5)
print (z)

In print Max(4,7), x>y or x=y condition is not fulfilled (here x = 4, y = 7) so it returns y, that is 7.

In second case, x = 8 and y = 5 and it
fulfilled return condition of the Function,that is x > y
, so it returns the value of x (x = 8).
