    newsfeedData = newsfeed["data"]
    for status in newsfeedData:
        fromn = [status['from']['name']]
        name = [status.get('name', None)]
        description = [status.get('description', None)]
        if description == name is None:
            return fromn
        elif description is None:
            return fromn.extend(name)
        elif name is None:
            return fromn.extend(description)
        else:
            return fromn + name + description

My code returns only one string, but when I use print instead of return – it prints ALL of results. How can I return the same results, as in case of print??

Answer 1

When you use return it exits the function and doesn’t keep iterating through the loop like it does with print. Try yield.
