printing - Python For loop multiple returns -

i supposed write function 1 of computer science classes in python. function supposed take in startvalue , increment until numberofvalues reached. function far:

def nextnvalues(startvalue, increment, numberofvalues):    result = int(0)    in range(0, numberofvalues):       increase = * increment        result = startvalue + increase    return result 

i call doing:

print(nextnvalues(5,4,3)) 

the problem output 13. how make returns number each time increments. example, 5, 9, 13? have been having problem previous functions have been adding , removing things without logic work. doing wrong?

this perfect use case generators.

long story short, use yield instead of return:

def nextnvalues(startvalue, increment, numberofvalues):   result = int(0)   in range(0, numberofvalues):     increase = * increment     result = startvalue + increase     yield result 

the clients of code can use either in simple loop:

for value in nextnvalues(...):   print(value) 

or can list if needed converting list. example, if 1 needed print result:

print(list(nextnvalues(...)))
