Obviously, these are over-simplified functions, but you get the point.
Nonetheless, do you tend to print things within functions or pass the
results back and then print them? I understand it may depend on the current
context, but which way do you lean and is one way or the other considered
*better practice*?
I'd say 98% of the time I return a value back so I can verify the result. You could verify the result within the function, but that would cause the function to become less portable, and most of the time I use the same function in more than one place, or try to.
