## Return Statement

The  return  statement in AVAP is used to return the value of a desired variable from a function. Here is the syntax:

```javascript
return(variable_to_return):
```

Here is an overview of how the  return  statement works:

* Function Context: The return statement can only occur within a function definition, not inside a nested class definition.
* Variable Evaluation: If a variable is provided, it is evaluated. If no variable is specified, None is used by default.
* Function Exit: The return statement exits the current function call and returns the specified value.
* Interaction with try-finally: When the return statement is executed within a try statement that has a finally clause, the finally clause is executed before the function exits.
* Generator Functions: In generator functions, the return statement indicates the end of the generator. It causes a StopIteration exception to be raised, with the returned value (if any) used to construct the StopIteration exception and set as the StopIteration.value attribute.

The  return  statement is a fundamental part of functions and generators, allowing for the output of values and proper function termination.
