When you play with a toy, and you decide it’s time to stop, you put it back where it belongs. This is like a return. You take something out, and then you give it back. In computer language, return is like telling the computer to give back a result after doing some work.
Think of it like a superhero who goes on an adventure. Once the adventure is done, the superhero returns home with stories and treasures. In a computer, when it finishes solving a problem, it returns the answer, just like the superhero brings back stories.
Imagine a boomerang that you throw into the air. It flies around and then comes back to you. This is another way to think about return. You send something out, and it comes back to you, just like a boomerang. In the computer world, you send out a question or task, and the return is the answer or result you get back.
