I was recently surprised by a return statement in the cell of a notebook I
was reading, something like this (I simplified the original to highlight
the strange behavior):
def f():
pass
return 5
To my surprise, running this cell did not cause an exception. Instead, 5
went to the Out. Is this a bug, or is this behavior expected?
Surprisingly, I do get an error (SyntaxError: 'return' outside function)
when I have a return without a proceeding function:
return 5
Thanks!
