[split] Why is there an output of None - akbarza - Nov-27-2023

hi
I have a small question, but I did not know if i must open a new thread for it or not, so I ask here:
in the below code :

class Request:
    def send(self):
        print('Sent')

        
http_request=Request()
print(http_request.send())

after running in idle, the output is:

Output:Sent
None

what is this None and what is the reason for it?
I think the output must be send only.
thanks

None is an object that signifies no value. None is returned by functions/methods that don't have a "return" statement. Request.send() does not have a return statement, so it returns None. Your program prints the return value of http_request.send(), so it prints "None".
