def evaluate():
    a=2
    return a

print(evaluate())

Then im getting "unresolved reference" in the pycharm where the evaluate() in print function is underlined in red color.

Your code is fine. It's hard to tell why your IDE thinks it isn't. – NPE May 16 '18 at 18:23
You need to add source directory, if `evaluate()` not in current directory. – Nishant Nawarkhede May 16 '18 at 18:23
It returns 2 on my machine. Your code has no problem at all. – Ninja Warrior 11 May 16 '18 at 18:23

I'm running PyCharm 2018.1.1 on Ubuntu... There are no errors from this code. After I fix your PEP8 problems, there are no warnings either (spaces around the assignment operator, double line between the function and print). /usr/test/venv/bin/python /usr/pycharm-2018.1.1/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py --multiproc --qt-support=auto --client 127.0.0.1 --port 39627 --file /usr/test/blah.py pydev debugger: process 37851 is connecting Connected to pydev debugger (build 181.4445.76) 2 Process finished with exit code 0 – sehafoc May 16 '18 at 18:29
