Returning Values from a Function

Snippet

Functions use the 'return' keyword to send a calculated result back to the caller, allowing the result to be stored in a variable.

snippet.py
python
def multiply(a, b):
    return a * b
 
result = multiply(5, 4)
print(result)

Breakdown

return a * b

Calculates the product and sends it out of the function.

result = multiply(5, 4)

Calls the function and assigns the returned value (20) to 'result'.
