There are many ways of solving this problem:<br>
<code># Note: :list and -> bool are just python typings, they are not needed for the correct execution of the algorithm. </code>
Taking advantage of sets and len:
```
def is_unique(l:list) -> bool:
return len(set(l)) == len(l)
```
This one is can be seen used in other programming languages.
```
def is_unique2(l:list) -> bool:
seen = []
for i in l:
if i in seen:
return False
seen.append(i)
return True
```
Here we just count and make sure every element is just repeated once.
```
def is_unique3(l:list) -> bool:
for i in l:
if l.count(i) > 1:
return False
return True
```
This one might look more convulated but hey, one liners.
```
def is_unique4(l:list) -> bool:
return all(map(lambda x: l.count(x) < 2, l))
```

Short answer is: It returns a None object.
We could go a bit deeper and explain the difference between
```
def a ():
return
>>> None
```
And
```
def a ():
pass
>>> None
```
Or we could be asked this as a following question, since they both give the same result.
We could use the dis module to see what's going on:
```
2 0 LOAD_CONST 0 (<code object a at 0x0000029C4D3C2DB0, file "<dis>", line 2>)
2 LOAD_CONST 1 ('a')
4 MAKE_FUNCTION 0
6 STORE_NAME 0 (a)
5 8 LOAD_CONST 2 (<code object b at 0x0000029C4D3C2ED0, file "<dis>", line 5>)
10 LOAD_CONST 3 ('b')
12 MAKE_FUNCTION 0
14 STORE_NAME 1 (b)
16 LOAD_CONST 4 (None)
18 RETURN_VALUE
Disassembly of <code object a at 0x0000029C4D3C2DB0, file "<dis>", line 2>:
3 0 LOAD_CONST 0 (None)
2 RETURN_VALUE
Disassembly of <code object b at 0x0000029C4D3C2ED0, file "<dis>", line 5>:
6 0 LOAD_CONST 0 (None)
2 RETURN_VALUE
```
An empty <code> return</code> is exactly the same as <code>return None</code> and functions without any explicit return
will always return None regardless of the operations, therefore
```
def sum(a, b):
global c
c = a + b
>>> None
```
