How to return value from a function

Return value from a function

We can use return statement to return value from a function.

Values can be returned from functions using the return statement.

def square(x):# from www .  ja v a2  s.  com
   return x*x

print square(3)

def test(): 
    print 'This is printed' 
    return 
    print 'This is not' 

x = test() 

The code above generates the following result.

As you can see, the second print statement is skipped.

Return a tuple.

def quadcube (x):
     return x**2, x**3
 # ww w . j a  va 2 s. co m
a, b = quadcube(3)

print a

print b

The code above generates the following result.
