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

Ya, basically you are using print statements in your function as a way to return information. You shouldn't do this. Print is NOT the same as a return statement. If you simply want your function to give your answer without the none, just type jiskya(2, 3) instead. You will see what the function throws out because you have print statements in the function. If instead you typed "return" in your function, it wouldn't give you anything without the "print" preceding the function call.
