OK...I have the following program
i = 1
while i <= 6:
print 2 * i,' ',
i = i + 1
print
this is supposed to give you a "new" blank line after the program runs instead it just gives:
2 4 6 8 10 12

instead of:
2 4 6 8 10 12

to get the above return I have

I would call it a python function with a side-effect.

I'd rather say it's the difference between a procedure and a function,
as it is used in e.g. Pascal. Procedures in Pascal don't return
anything, more or less analo

This is not quite correct. The difference between a method and a
function is that the method is associated with a type or class object, a
function is not.

Not in python.
For example, what would you call the following?
def rsum(n, m):
print n+m
return n+m
In python a method is callable attached to an object. A function is a
callable object constructed with a def statement.

That is the diference between a method and a function.
A method do something and a function return something.
Example:
def psum(n, m):
print (n + m)
def rsum(n, m):
return (n +m)
Then try this...
>>> psum(2, 3)
>>> a = psum(2, 3)
>>> a
>>> a = rsum(2, 3)
>>> a
You see it?

Can somebody tell me why you have to have "return result" in the below program as suggested in a beginner tutorial. I ran the second listed program below without "return result" and they both give the same value in Python interpreter. What does "return result" do?
def distance(x1, y1, x2, y2):
