You're either going to "return False" or "return True" or maybe return some variable that contains that info, but you're not going to "return true/False" at the same time - it's one or the other.

5,451 PointsHow the function behaves with when return True return False Ex: Checking of a prime number:
def isprime(n):
if n == 1:
print("1 is a special number")
return True
for x in range(2, n):
if n % x == 0:
print("{} is equals to {} * {}".format(n, x, n // x))
return False
else:
print(n, "is a prime number")
return True
for n in range(1, 20):
isprime(n)
