Example 1: Return values using comma
def name():
return "John","Armin"
# print the tuple with the returned values
print(name())
# get the individual items
name_1, name_2 = name()
print(name_1, name_2)
Output
('John', 'Armin')
John Armin
When you return multiple values using comma(s), they are returned in the form of a tuple. As shown in the code above, two strings "John" and "Armin" are returned with a single return statement.
Example 2: Using a dictionary
def name():
n1 = "John"
n2 = "Armin"
return {1:n1, 2:n2}
names = name()
print(names)
Output
{1: 'John', 2: 'Armin'}
When you return values using a dictionary, it is easy for you to keep track of the returned values using the keys. The return statement returns the two variables in the form a dictionary.
