Is there a way to store the output of the function but only if it isnt false, and not having to call the function 2 times as in the example?

def example(x):
    if x>=5:
        return "great"
    else: 
        return False

def main():
    x = 5
    if example(x):
        asnwer = example(x)
    else: 
        print("x<5")

main()

>Solution :

def main():
    x = 5
    result = example(x)
    asnwer = result if result else print("x<5")     

You could also just modify the function:

def example(x):
    return "Great" if x>=5 else print("x<5")

def main():
    x = 5
    asnwer = example(x)

main()

This would give asnwer == None when x<5 and asnwer == Great when x>=5.
