Can we Use PRINT statement inside a SQL server (T-SQL) function

We cannot use a PRINT statement in a function. It would give the following error when trying to compile it.

Example:

CREATE FUNCTION Hello()

RETURNS varchar(100)

as

BEGIN

      PRINT 'MY HELLO';

      RETURN ('Hello');

END

GO

Msg 443, Level 16, State 14, Procedure Hello, Line 6

Invalid use of side-effecting or time-dependent operator in 'PRINT' within a function.
