Using an example show how a function in Python can return multiple values.
You can return multiple values through a tuple:
# Creating a tuple with multiple values
coordinates = (10, 20, 30)
# Unpacking the tuple into individual variables
x, y, z = coordinates
print("X coordinate:", x) # Output: X coordinate: 10
print("Y coordinate:", y) # Output: Y coordinate: 20
print("Z coordinate:", z) # Output: Z coordinate: 30
Return multiple values through a function:
def get_student_info():
# Returning multiple values as a tuple
return "John Doe", 21, "Computer Science"
# Unpacking the returned tuple
name, age, major = get_student_info()
print("Name:", name) # Output: Name: John Doe
print("Age:", age) # Output: Age: 21
print("Major:", major) # Output: Major: Computer Science
Swap variables using a tuple:
# Initial values
a = 5
b = 10
# Swapping values using tuple unpacking
a, b = b, a
print("A:", a) # Output: A: 10
print("B:", b) # Output: B: 5
Combining tuples:
# Creating two tuples
tuple_1 = (1, 2)
tuple_2 = (3, 4)
# Concatenating tuples
combined_tuple = tuple_1 + tuple_2
print(combined_tuple) # Output: (1, 2, 3, 4)
Function that returns sum and average:
def sum_and_avg(x, y, z):
s = x + y + z
a = s / 3
return s, a # Returning multiple values as a tuple
# Calling the function and unpacking results
(Sum, Avg) = sum_and_avg(3, 8, 5)
print('Sum =', Sum) # Output: Sum = 16
print('Avg =', Avg) # Output: Avg = 5.333333333333333
