Now, to my beginner eyes, I get 6 each time.
So, I wonder what makes one different to the other in this case!

The difference is not about how many times you call it but returning something or not

Python

I tried it last night.
The week before. I have written the same code over and over.
But, one is a void function, the other is a returning value function. But If I use a variable with the void function, I am getting the same results. So, I wondered what makes one different to the other?

Again, not to bo rude but incetivate you to be more proactive 👍

My understanding is now a little bit broader than what I have started with.
Once you use the return function, you can call the function wherever you want in the code, right?

I wanted a discussion not just an answer.

Python

08 May 2026 04:43

I didn't ignore it.
I've read it, understood it and kept moving with my other lessons.
I am only a beginner to python and I found AI to be irritating. So, I joined this group to find some human help. That's it.

It is to help you understand

Python

08 May 2026 04:41

and yet you ignored the answer that you got

Python

08 May 2026 03:35

No one can help you you don't explain your issue

He may be done with his test by now.

Write some code that does basic calculations. Additions, subtractions. Let the functions print the output only.

Python

07 May 2026 18:22

The purpose of functions is to give parts of the code a name. It's an incredible tool to structure your code. And not to have to repeat it.

What if you want to do something like add wto numbers then add another number to that result?

Python

08 May 2026 05:02

#Using a void fucntion with a variable
def add(x,y):
addition = x+y
print(addition)
add(3,3)

Python

08 May 2026 04:53

Let me send you the code then.
I will write it now

Python

08 May 2026 04:52

Last night or theprevious week is irrelevant, Do it now

Python

08 May 2026 04:49

I did yes.
I normally would've done that but, I had a very little time

Python

08 May 2026 04:48

Why don't you try it? it will take less tha 5 minutes to write that code

Python

08 May 2026 04:46

I get it, just seemed like you avoided to do some research yourself and aski for more specific stuff. remember writting software will involve a lot of reading

Python

08 May 2026 04:43

Instead of googling...

Python

08 May 2026 04:42

but returning things from functionas are super common

Python

08 May 2026 04:41

Is this a general thing or a test?

Python

08 May 2026 04:39

That low huh?
Even tho I've explained it to you that I was trying to understand and not copy&paste

Python

08 May 2026 03:32

Is anyone good at webscrapping here ??
Can u help me

Python

Void function is a function that js does his thing and u dont expect anything as a result back ,hence by defualt it returns None , returning function does his thing and return a value or any object which u will use further in u code by assigning it to a variable

Python

Code without functions is less readable and more repetitive. Vastly so.

Python

Just at the beginning of learning it's more about seeing it. So that you understand how it works and what it does.
