Example:
Result:
From my scrutiny, there is an error in your code. The error lies in the definition of the function 'add_two_numbers'. In Python, the 'return' statement is used to allow a function to produce a result that can then be stored in a variable or used in whatever manner a user desires.
Here is a step-by-year list of how you can correct this error:
- At the 'add_two_numbers' function, include the 'return' keyword before 'num1 + num2'. This allows the function to actually produce the sum of 'num1' and 'num2' which can then be printed.
So your corrected code should look like this:
def add_two_numbers(num1, num2):
return num1 + num2
print(add_two_numbers(2, 3))
