title: What does return True/False actually do? (Python)
body: <p>I've added in a sample code below just so you have a frame of reference for what my question actually is. I always see programs with if statements that return True or False, but what is actually happening here, why wouldn't you just want to put a print statement for false/true. I'm lost here. </p>
  
  <pre><code>def false(x,y):
      x &gt; y
      return False
  
  false(9,10)
  </code></pre>
