Be aware that "return" is not a function, but a statement keyword. It is used inside a function to cause that function to end, and optionally give a value back to the part of the code that called it (started it running).

Did you have any more specific questions about functions? Or perhaps it will become clear if you just continue in the course and see more examples.
