Return

Functions are written to perform tasks and sometimes, we may need the outcome of the tasks, this can be done via return.

To return something from a function we add the return keyword followed by the value to return, like here with return label.

def age_label(age):
  label = "User age: " + age
  return label

A function can return any type of value, like a string, integer, float, or boolean. We call this value the function's "output".

In the example below, we want the function to output the result of the number parameter multiplied by 10.

def times_ten(number):
  result = number * 10
  return result

We can use the return value of a function like any value by calling the function. Here, we call age_label("22") to use its value.

def age_label(age):
  label = "User age: " + age
  return label

print(age_label("22"))
