Thank you Wesley, Kal & tutor
In the future, the Python interpreter comes in handy for quick checks.

That's because Python is by nature a dynamic language, with duck typing and dynamic dispatch. In fact, any method or function may well return any of a number of different types: def crazy_function(return_int) if return_int: return 1 else: return 'foo' It's probably bad design, but there is nothing in the Python grammar and semantics that stops you from doing that. So your question is better phrased as: if I don't explicitly return anything, what is returned? The answer to that would be: the None object Cheers, Kal On 7 February 2013 14:09, Sunil Tech <sunil.tech...@gmail.com <mailto:sunil.tech...@gmail.com>> wrote: > If a method has no return type? > what will it return? > > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org <mailto:Tutor@python.org> > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
