What are some examples of return statements in functions?

Can you explain what a return statement is in programming?

A return statement is used in functions to send a value back to the caller, ending the function's execution.

Can you give me an example of a return statement in a function?

Sure! In Python, a simple example is:

def add(a, b):
    return a + b

This function returns the sum of a and b.

What happens if a function doesn't have a return statement?

If a function doesn't have a return statement, it returns None by default in Python.

Are there any other programming languages with different return statement syntax?

Yes, for example, in Java, you would use:

int add(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

The syntax varies, but the concept is similar.
