return values from a function

[techyvibe]

How do we return a value from a function i.e from a subfunction to a main function?

There are plenty of considerations that would make this a bad example but the simple answer is just use "return"

>>> def return_value(number):
... 	return number*2
... 
>>> return_value(5)
10
