Return Statement in Python

ParametersLambda

The return statement sends a value back from a function to the caller. It's how functions produce results that can be used elsewhere.

Without return, a function returns None by default. You can return any type – numbers, strings, lists, or even multiple values.

Basic Return

Return a single value.

Returning Multiple Values

Python packs multiple values into a tuple automatically.

Early Return

Return stops the function immediately – useful for validation.

No Return – Returns None
