Why am I getting this error in python when i enter into next line of if-else condition?

Question

if cake == \"delicious\":
    return \"yes\"

SyntaxError: \'return\' outside function

Why I get like this?

Answer 1

return is a keyword which can only appear in a function definition (as the syntax error says). You can simply print your output in an if/else block

if cake == 'delicious': print('yes')   

Answer 2

You can create some functions like this.

text  ="delicious" 
def check(text):
    if text=="delicious":
        return 'yes'

check(text)
