Can you return multiple values from a function?

Yes, you can return multiple values from a function, but the method to do so varies depending on the programming language being used. Here's a breakdown of how multiple values can be returned in different programming languages:

C and C++

In C and C++, functions typically return a single value directly. However, you can return multiple values using several techniques:

• Pointers: You can pass the addresses of variables to the function, and the function can modify those variables directly[3].
• Structures: You can define a structure to hold multiple values and return an instance of that structure from the function[3].
• Arrays: Similar to pointers, you can pass an array to the function, which can then modify the contents of the array[3].
• Class and Object (C++): In C++, you can also use a class to encapsulate multiple values and return an object of that class[3].

JavaScript

In JavaScript, a function can only return a single value directly. To return multiple values, you can use:

• Arrays: By placing multiple values into an array and returning the array[2].
• Objects: By using an object to store key-value pairs and returning the object. This method allows you to label each return value, which can make the code more readable[2].

Python

Python provides several flexible methods for returning multiple values from a function:

• Tuples: By default, when you return multiple values separated by commas, Python packs the...
