How do I make my code output a formatted value at the end, and have it together in one function, with one return value?

(repost for clarity) This function basically returns the number of covid cases per gender + the %

How do I put together my code to make it one function, to return the already formatted value at the end, not print?

You can use Cereja lib. pip install cereja

import cereja as cj

genders = ['Female', 'Male', 'Female', 'Female', 'Female', 'Male', 'Female','trans']
freq = cj.Freq(genders) # Implementation available in https://github.com/cereja-project/cereja/blob/aa6f99549ff0ab084c213f25dd8685a41d36ab65/cereja/mltools/data.py#L43
freq.probability # OrderedDict([('Female', 0.625), ('Male', 0.25), ('trans', 0.125)])

You almost had it right.

def count_gender(genders):
    gender_types = valuesg1(genders)
    string = ''
    for gender in gender_types:
        count = genders.count(gender)
        string += '{}: {} cases {:.2%}\n'.format(gender, count, count/len(genders))
    return string

print( count_gender(genders) )

String concatenation is actually somewhat slow. You might consider:

def count_gender(genders):
    gender_types = valuesg1(genders)
    result = []
    for gender in gender_types:
        count = genders.count(gender)
        result.append( '{}: {} cases {:.2%}'.format(gender, count, count/len(genders)) )
    return '\n'.join(result)

print( count_gender(genders) )
