Thank you!
That is the part I am struggling with! I cannot find the correct syntax to return the response as data.
I tried
data = dropbox.files.FileMetadata.id
print("THE DATA VARIABLE IS")
print(data)but the result is
THE DATA VARIABLE IS property object at 0x03A82F60
If you are newbie, learn some basics of Python syntax, at least. On your question: there is keyword 'return', as in many other languages (like C/C++, Java, Kotlin and others), which denote the returning value. This keyword could be used more than once, whenever the algorithm have a value ready to return. When such function gets called it carries a returned value which could be used directly or assigned to a variable. Follows some pseudo code:
def funcName(param1, param2):
...do some calculations...
if some.check():
return param1+param2
...do something else...
result = param1 * param2
...possible finalization...
return result
resValue = funcName(3, 5)
...do something using resValue here...Hope this casts some extra light.
