Hi All,
Thank you everyone. This is fantastic - I post a query and go to sleep and
by the time I get up there is already a nice little thread of discussion
going on.....
By the way, I sorted it with all your suggestions.
def donuts(count):
if count <= 9: #This had to be 9 instead of 5 as per the question req.
return 'Number of donuts: {0}'.format(count)
else:
return 'Number of donuts: many'
So to summarise what I learnt:
* Just 'return' returns None - it is not related to what you print inside
the function.If you want something specific out of a function return
something specific.
* return 'Number of donuts: ',count returns a tuple like:
('Number of donuts: ',9)
* To just print the string without returning it as tuple , use string
formatting.
Thanks again,
Shiva
