4.3 – User Defined Function Type 2 (Return Statement) | Python Programming – New Series

Welcome to the Python Programming – Complete Course (New Series) by Burle Sharma. In this class (4.3), we continue the Functions chapter and discuss the second type of user defined function. 👉 In this type: ✔ Input is taken inside the function ✔ Processing is done inside the function ✔ Output is returned to the main program 👉 The main function (caller) will display the output. This introduces an important concept: 👉 Return statement In this video, I have: ✔ Explained the second type of user defined function ✔ Introduced the concept of return statement ✔ Written the complete program ✔ Explained how value is returned to main function ✔ Performed dry run step-by-step ✔ Executed the program and verified output 🎓 What You’ll Learn in This Video • Second type of user defined function • Use of return statement in Python • Difference between print and return • Flow of control between function and main program • Writing structured programs using functions • Performing detailed dry run 🧠 Concept Explanation 👉 User Defined Function – Type 2 ✔ Input → Inside Function ✔ Process → Inside Function ✔ Output → Returned to main function 👉 Flow 1️⃣ Function takes input 2️⃣ Function processes data 3️⃣ Function returns result 4️⃣ Main function receives and prints result 🧠 Key Learning Point 👉 Return vs Print ✔ print() → Displays output directly ✔ return → Sends value back to caller 👉 This type is very important because: ✔ It makes functions reusable ✔ It separates logic and output ✔ It is widely used in real-world programming 🎯 Why This Video Is Important This lesson helps students: • Understand function flow clearly • Learn return mechanism • Write better structured programs • Build strong programming concepts 👉 Return-based functions are used in almost all real applications. #Python #PythonProgrammingNewSeries #BurleSharma #FunctionsInPython#ReturnStatement#UserDefinedFunction #PythonBeginners#PythonConcepts#Geecoding #PythonClass43
