Return Statement

Last Updated: 01th September 2025

A return statement in Python is used to return a value from a function. It allows you to exit a function and return a value to the caller.

📝 Syntax:

def function_name():
    # function body
    #..
    #..
    return value

#When Call it
function_name()

def function_name(parameter1, parameter2):
    # function body
    #..
    #..
    return value

#When Call it
function_name(argument1, argument2)

Example 1.

def pi():
    return 3.14159

print(pi())  # Output: 3.14159

Example 2.

def add(a, b):
    return a + b

result = add(5, 3)
print(result)  # Output: 8
