Return data with the return command

If you use the return() command within a function, you can send a
data value back to the calling code.

import urllib.request

def get_price():
page = urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.beans-r-us.biz/prices.html")
text = page.read().decode("utf8") Remove the call to
where = text.find('>$')
start_of_price = where + 2 “print()"...
end_of_price = start_of_price + 4
print(text[start_of_price:end_of_price])
... and replace it with a
return(text[start_of_price:end_of_price]) call to “return()" instead.

Call the “get_price()"
function.

...
price = get_price() Run the code
get_price() to determine
...
the current
price.

5.51 Return the price to
the caller.

The value assigned to “price"
is 5.51. The assignment
happens after the code in
the function executes.
