return value of function looping through list in reverse is the last element in it

Question

this function is supposed to return the list in reverse but instead, it is only returning the last element of the list. I would like to know what is the issue.

def reverse_list(lt):
    for f in lt[::-1]:
        return f
lt = [1,2,3,4]
print(reverse_list(lt))

If you return in a for loop, how many iterations do you think that for loop does? — Sayse, Jul 27 '22 at 07:32
