    if c > d + e:
        return c > d + e

Once you call return from a Python function, nothing after that will execute. Try this version:

def c_greater_than_d_plus_e(c ,d ,e):
    if c > d + e:
        print("c is greater than d plus e ")
        return c > d + e

print(c_greater_than_d_plus_e(3 ,1 ,1))

This prints:

c is greater than d plus e 
True
