I see. You didn't declare a function, it's just a python script. So you don't
need a return in that situation, the script just ends when there are no more
lines.
By the way: you certainly don't want to return or quit BEFORE you print(nice).
But the fix here is simply to delete "return coun". Then your script will run.

Subject: What this error want to say? Can't we use return without function?
N = int(input("enter a positive integer:")) coun = 1 while (N > 0):
coun = coun * N
N = N - 1
return coun
nice = ntime(N)
print(nice)
error: return outside of the function
