Anyone explain why this is correct?

Question

You are creating your own social network and need to turn words into hashtags.

The code takes a word as input.

Task
Complete the hashtag() function to return the input word starting with the hashtag symbol (#). Then display the result on the screen.

My code:
#taking a word as input
word = input()

def hashtag(word):
print("#"+ word)
return word
#display the result
hashtag(word)

Answer 1

The reason it worked is not because you did it right but because you created a print statement with the # hashtag + word ... the return statement or in this case word had no place to return property though you called the function

word = input()

def hashtag(word):
return "#"+word

print(hashtag(word))

This is the correct way
