Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

ad = addnum(num1, num2) #not calling because it is a return function
minus = subtract(num1, num2)
x = multiply(num1, num2)
div = divide(num1, num2)

print(ad) # returns the value
print(minus) # can also use print(subtract(num1, num2))
print(x)
print(div)

According to the notes

Am i understanding how functions work correctly?

[manic gorge]

i mean it looks like it

i'd also just want to point out two things:

1. you don't need brackets for a return statement
2. opt for 4 spaces since that's "normal" indentation

[tough crane]

I don't know why you define the functions twice

They don't get "used up" when you call them

[buoyant wharf]

I think you're confused by the definition of "return" and "print"

@wet wren
ad = addnum(num1, num2) #not calling because it is a return function

This is calling the function and the value gets returned to ad. It doesn't print to the console, it just stores the value in a variable

print(ad) # returns the value
Nothing is "return"ed here. Print just displays the value in ad on the console

[sturdy lagoon]

don't reuse function names in the same scope, it will redefine the function and is something you want to avoid

[wet wren]

So i remember the difference

[wet wren]

Ye i just did that so i know the difference
