return out of loops syntax error

[perfringo]

Error:
SyntaxError: 'return' outside function

I tried to replace 'return' with 'break', but that did not seem to help as well.

Can I know what i am doing wrong here?

return may only occur syntactically nested in a function definition.

For more information: Documentation > The Python Language Reference > 7. Simple statements > 7.6. The return statement.

break may only occur syntactically nested in a for or while loop

For more information: Documentation > The Python Language Reference > 7. Simple statements > 7.9. The break statement

As you have no function defined nor for- or while-loop therefore neither return or break is allowed.
