Syntax Error: Outside a function?
#2
return is a builtin method which returns a value from a function. The function is executed and returns a value, here's an example:
def add(x, y):
    return x + y
It takes x and y, then returns their value added together. So they cannot be used outside functions.
print(add(3, 6))
Output:
9
