What's the difference between printing the value and returning it ?

Question

Print or return

Answer 1

When you use print actually you force the function to print the output always. But do you want to print always? No! Sometimes you want to use it in another procedure so you should use return instead of print to it be usable for different occasions.

Answer 2

print: takes what is inside the () and prints it in the console, the value can't be taken from there.
=> only for testing / giving output

return: only present inside a function. returns the content of a variable or a constant value, which can be used outside the function.
=> without it more than half of all functions wouldn't work/had no use

totally diffrent!

, but a value that is returned by a function can be printed too
=> make all functions return a value and then print it for testing purposes or for the actual output

Answer 3

returning returns a value to where the function was called. Printing is a basic way to display data to user.
