Exercism with Python - Gyga_Hawk - Mar-13-2022

Hello

This is my first post on this forum
I am new to Python and programming

I would like to do the first exercise on exercism, The Hello World exercise
but when I follow the coding pattern, it just doesn't work, I do it on their online editor,

Is here anyone has experienced the same issue?

Thank you very much

Hello

Thank you very much for your kind reply


Here is my code is under the hash signs,

def hello():
    print("hello world")
    return 'Goodbye, Mars!'

########
Print (Hello World)


RE: Exercism with Python - Yoriz - Mar-15-2022

Print should be all lower case and you need to call the function hello
def hello():
    print("hello world")
    return "Goodbye, Mars!"


########
print(hello())
Output:
hello world
Goodbye, Mars!

What does the test says it expects your function to return, compared to what you have actually returned?

RE: Exercism with Python - ndc85430 - Mar-17-2022

Do you understand the difference between printing and returning?

RE: Exercism with Python - Gyga_Hawk - Mar-17-2022

No I Don't know what is the difference between two these,
could you explain to me please?
Thanks

When you return a value from a function, it can be used in subsequent parts of the program (assigned to a variable, passed to another function as in the test, etc.). Printing doesn't do that - the value is simply written to the console.

That is to say the console is external to your program, not part of it.
