Course: PES-COOP-S2023 (thinkcspy)

Describe the bug
Immediately after the 6.4.2 ActiveCode activity, the text is: The return statement is followed by an expression which is evaluated. Its result is returned to the caller as the “fruit” of calling this function.

I think it should instead read: The function definition is followed by an expression which is evaluated. Its result is returned to the caller as the "fruit" of calling this function.
