The Complete Python Course - The Return Statement

The video tutorial explains the use of the return statement in Python, highlighting its role in terminating or exiting a function. It provides two examples: the first demonstrates a simple return statement with a single parameter, while the second example shows how to use a return statement with multiple parameters. The tutorial emphasizes the evaluation of expressions before returning values and illustrates how different values can be passed and returned using the return statement.

What is the primary purpose of a return statement in a Python function?

• To print the output of a function

• To terminate or exit a function

• To call another function

• To define a function

In the first example, what is the result when the function demo is called with the argument 2?

• 10

• 20

• 2

• 12

How does the return statement handle the expression 10 + NUM in the first example?

• It prints the expression

• It ignores the expression

• It evaluates and returns the result

• It stores the expression

In the second example, what is the output when the function is called with the arguments 5, 7, and 15?

• 500

• 1550

• 50

• 27

What is the result when the function in the second example is called with the arguments 50, 500, and 1000?

• 1500

• 1050

• 155
