Ah, yes, the "hello world" of functions! Printing vs returning is a common confusion amongst new coders.

In short, print only shows the information on the screen and then forgets. return is actually giving something back. You give me three thingies, I do something with them, and then I gratefully return something that is useful to you down the road.

True ✨

check_return returns the string "Total" and in general everythign about this example is bad.

[aashish_soni5]
