How to use multiple conditions in a for loop in a function?

I'm still new to python and have just started learning. The task given is to find the amount of punctuation, vowels, and constants in a given text. But whenever I run the code it just gives me a 0.

def getInfo(text):

    pun = [".", ",", " ", "\'", "\"", "!"]
    vowels = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"]

    count = 0
    count2 = 0
    count3 = 0
    for char in text:
        if char in pun:
           count += 1
        return count
    
        if char.lower() in vowels:
           count2 += 1
        return count2
        
        if (not char.lower() in vowels) and (not char.lower() in pun):      
            count3 += 1
        return count3

When program reaches return it exits from loop.

def getInfo(text):

    pun = [".", ",", " ", "'", '"', "!"]
    vowels = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"]

    count = 0
    count2 = 0
    count3 = 0
    for char in text:
        if char in pun:
            count += 1

        if char.lower() in vowels:
            count2 += 1

        if (not char.lower() in vowels) and (not char.lower() in pun):
            count3 += 1
    return "count: {0}, count2: {1}, count3: {2}".format(count, count2, count3)

print(getInfo("We are in 2020."))

Output:

count: 4, count2: 4, count3: 7

You are using return keyword, that's, all the code below will not run and the function will returns the variable count.

Please, verify this.

Return should be outside the loop.

It should be :

def getInfo(text):

    pun = [".", ",", " ", "\'", "\"", "!"]
    vowels = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"]

    count = 0
    count2 = 0
    count3 = 0
    for char in list(text):
        if char in pun:
           count += 1
   
        if char.lower() in vowels:
           count2 += 1
        
        if (not char.lower() in vowels) and (not char.lower() in pun):      
            count3 += 1
    return (count, count2, count3)

getInfo('myname.is hello world!')

# (4, 6, 12)

You are retuning value after checking punctuation, rest of them are ignored. So you are getting 0. Your code is valid for punctuation check.
