Return Statement in Python Function

To return a value from a function, use the Python return statement. In a function, the user can only utilize the return statement. It can only be used within the Python function. A return statement contains the return keyword as well as the value to be returned after that.
We can return a single value or multiple values using the return statement in the python function.

Returning Single Value using return Statement in Python Function

Approach:

Create a function say multiply() which accepts two numbers as an argument
Inside the function, multiply the above passed two numbers and store it in a variable
Return the above multiplication result using the return statement
Call the above-created multiply() function by passing some random two numbers as arguments
and store it in another variable
Here it multiplies the two numbers(3*4) that we pass by calling the function and stores the result
Print the multiplication of the given two numbers.
The Exit of the Program.

Below is the implementation:

# Create a function say multiply() which accepts two numbers as an argument
def multiply(x, y):
  # Inside the function, multiply the above passed two numbers and
  # store it in a variable
  mul = x * y
  # Return the above multiplication result using the return statement
  return mul

# Call the above created multiply() function by passing some random two numbers as arguments
# and store it in another variable
# Here it multiplies the two numbers(3*4) that we pass by calling the function and stores the result
rslt = multiply(3, 4)
# Print the multiplication of given two numbers
print(rslt)

Output:

Returning Multiple Values using return Statement in Python Function

Approach:

Create a function say multiply() which accepts two numbers as an argument
Inside the function, multiply the above passed two numbers and store it in a variable
Calculate the average of the given two numbers and store it in another variable
Return the above multiplication, and average results using the return statement
Here we can observe that we are returning multiple values
Call the above-created multiply() function by passing some random two numbers as arguments
and store it in another variable
Here it stores both multiplication and average results of the given two numbers
Print the multiplication and average of given two numbers.
The Exit of the Program.

Below is the implementation:

# Create a function say multiply() which accepts two numbers as an argument
def multiply(x, y):
  # Inside the function, multiply the above passed two numbers and
  # store it in a variable
  mul = x * y
  # Calculate the average of given two numbers and store it in another variable
  average = (x+y)/2
  # Return the above multiplication, average results using the return statement
  # Here we can observe that we are returning multiple values
  return mul, average

# Call the above created multiply() function by passing some random two numbers as arguments
# and store it in another variable
# Here it stores both multiplication, average results of the given two numbers
rslt = multiply(3, 4)
# Print the multiplication, average of given two numbers
print("The multiplication, average of given two numbers is:")
print(rslt)

Output:

The multiplication, average of given two numbers is:
(12, 3.5)

NOTE:

Not only two values, but you can also return multiple values
