Python Playground

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

result = add(3, 4)

    return n % 2 == 0

print(is_even(4))
print(is_even(7))

Click "Run" to execute your code

return sends a value back to the caller and exits the function immediately. Without return, a function returns None.

Try modifying the code above to explore different behaviors. Can you extend the example to handle a new use case?
