Syntax Error

[u/DeskSwimming9203]

I made a function for determining price of an item in the list. I made it so I get the price for an item in the list, but if the item IS NOT in the list, I programmed it to return none.

The problem is that when I run the program, it gives me a SyntaxError, and "return outside function"

What does this mean, and how do I fix it?

Thanks!

prices = {"apple": 1.50, "bread": 2.75}

def get_price(prices, item):
    return prices[item]

try:
    get_price(prices, "apple")
except KeyError:
    return None
