Of course, I can help you understand the concept of Python function return.

In Python, functions are blocks of code that perform certain operations or calculations. The return statement is used to specify what the function should return as output after the function has finished executing.

Here is an example:

def add_numbers(x, y):
    result = x + y
    return result

In this example, the add_numbers function takes two arguments x and y and calculates their sum. The keyword return is used to specify that the function should return the value of result as its output. So, when we call the add_numbers function with values of 5 and 10 like this:

sum = add_numbers(5, 10)
print(sum)

The add_numbers function executes and calculates the sum of 5 and 10, which is 15. Then, it returns the value of 15 to the variable sum which is then printed to the console as output.

In summary, the return statement is used to specify what a function should output, and the value it returns can be stored in a variable or used in other parts of a program.
