I'm really confused by what appears to be a really basic concept. When I entered this code as is in the Python shell in my Terminal, I got 5 and 7 printed on separate lines. I don't get it, can someone please clarify what's happening in this video?

def add_two(num): print(num) val = num + 2 return val
print(add_two(5))

Without seeing the code, my initial thoughts would be to ask if you are using two
printstatements? Usually, when using the print method, it will add a newline to the end, so printing two separate statements would produce them on two separate lines.If that isn't it, post your code so I can see!
