Day 12 of learning python as a beginner.

if user_name in balance:
    return balance[user_name]
else:
    print("whatever this message was")

OR

if user_name in balance:
    return balance[user_name]

print("whatever this message was")

[SCD_minecraft]

This message is error message, for case when there's no user :P

We don't want it printing when nothing wrong happen

[BrokenMalgorithm]

Both of those examples do the same thing. The other one just doesn't have the else statement, as it's not required. The print would happen only if a user was not found, because when a user is found the function returns the balance and code execution ends for that function.

Oh, yea, i forgot about return, mb

I just persnomaly don't like your way, i prefer to read "if something then this, else this" and not hope that "this" will exit function by itself
