return vs. print

This trips up almost every beginner at some point: print() only shows something on the screen — it doesn't hand a value back to your code. return sends a value back so you can use it, but doesn't show anything by itself:

def printer():
    print("I printed!")

def returner():
    return "I returned!"

printer()
result = returner()
print(result)

prints:

I printed!
I returned!

Your turn: define show_message() that prints the text Just showing! (no return). Define give_message() that returns the text Just returning! (no print inside it). Call show_message(). Then call give_message(), store what it returns, and print that.
