Can a function return multiple values how?

Q. Can a function return multiple values how?

Answer =

Yes.

(a)

Either receive the returned values in form a tuple variable.

For example: -

def squared(x, y, z):
    return x, y *y, z * z

t = squared (2,3,4)
print(t)

Output is:-

 
Tuple t will be printed as:

(4, 9, 16)

(b)

Or you can directly unpack the received values of tuple by specifying the same number of variables on the left-hand side of the assignment in function call.

For example: -

def squared(x, y, z):
    return x* x, y * y, z * z

v1, v2, v3 = squared (2,3,4)
print("The returned values are as under:")
print (v1, v2, v3)

Output is:-

4 9 16
