Intro To Python Programming - Function Returns in Python

The video tutorial explains the importance of using parameters in Python functions and avoiding specific implementations within them. It demonstrates how to define a function to calculate the average of two numbers and emphasizes returning values instead of printing them. The tutorial also shows how to use returned values in various contexts, such as storing them in variables or printing them. Additionally, it highlights the flexibility of using functions within print statements and encourages the habit of creating functions that return values to the caller.
