Return a pandas series from a loop

I have a pandas dataframe nike that looks like this:

    rise1      run1       position
    1          0.82       1
    3          1.64       2
    5          3.09       3
    7          5.15       4
    8          7.98       5
    15         11.12      6

I am trying to make a function that calculates grade (rise/run) and returns it as a pandas series. I want to use X points ahead of the current position minus X points behind the current position to calculate grade (i.e. if X = 2, the grade at position 4 is (15-3)/(11.12-1.64)).

def get_grade(dataf, X=n):
    grade = pd.Series(data = None, index = range(dataf.shape[0]))

    for i in range(X, dataf.shape[0] - X):
        rise = dataf.loc[i + X, 'rise1'] - dataf.loc[i - X,'rise1']
        run = dataf.loc[i + X, 'run1'] - dataf.loc[i - X, 'run1']
        if np.isclose(rise, 0) or np.isclose(run, 0):
            grade[i] = 0
        elif rise / run > 1:
            grade[i] = 1
        elif rise / run < -1:
            grade[i] = -1
        else:
            grade[i] = rise / run

    return grade
   
get_grade(nike, X= 2)

When I call the function, nothing happens. The code executes but nothing appears. What might I be doing wrong? Apologies if this is unclear, I am very new to coding in general with limited vocab in this area.

>Solution :

You have to set a variable equal to the function (so setting the variable equal to your return value) and then print/display that variable. Like df = get_grade(nike, X= 2) print(df). Or put a print call in your function

def test_function():
    df = pd.DataFrame({"col1":[1,2,3,4], "col2":[4,3,2,1]})
    return df
df = test_function()
print(df)

Or

def test_print_function():
    df = pd.DataFrame({"col1":[1,2,3,4], "col2":[4,3,2,1]})
    print(df)
test_print_function()
