Function returns None without return statement

Question

I just learned (am learning) how function parameters work in Python, and I started experimenting with it for no apparent reason, when this:

def jiskya(x, y):
         


        

Answer 1

You are doing two prints, the first one in the corpus of your function and the second one is printing the result of the function, which as actually None.

You should rather do something like this:

def yourfunction(x, y):
    if x > y:
        return y
    else:
        return x

Then,

>>> print yourfunction(2, 3)
