The Python return
statement is a key component of functions and methods. You can use the return
statement to make your functions send Python objects back to the caller code. These objects are known as the function’s return value. You can use them to perform further computation in your programs.
Using the return
statement effectively is a core skill if you want to code custom functions that are Pythonic and robust.
In this course, you’ll learn:
- How to use the Python
return
statement in your functions - How to return single or multiple values from your functions

This course was outstanding! It was well-structured, clear, and practical. I especially appreciated the sections on closures, decorators/wrappers, and factories. It provides a good introduction to understanding generators as well. The best practices part was very great! Please do that for functions in Python as well!
