python - How to append function to a list then print it -

i creating basic recipe viewer in python, stumbled across problem of when try print saved recipe displays [none], seen recipe firstly function, appended onto list try print when loading it.

the code below can explain more. how stop [none, none] appearing? code below sample made adapt resolving issue in recipe rather posting entire code on here.

b = [] #this meant resemble list  def function():  # meant resemble recipe      print("hi")   function() = input('write 1 = ') # meant resemble user saving recipe  if == '1':     b.append(function()) # meant resemble me saving recipe onto list   print(b) # meant resemble me loading recipe  

when run code , sorry don't have enough reputation points post image comes in python shell

hi write '1' = 1 #user input hi [none] 

you not returning function. printing, that's not same thing.

use return return value:

def function():      return "hi" 

print() writes terminal, caller of function not given output.

you can use print() print return value:

print(function())
