Returning multiple values in python

In this post, let us learn about returning multiple values in python.

Will it possible in python?

Yes, returning multiple values in python is possible. There are several ways to do it.

1 . Return as Tuple :

The tuple stores the values of various datatypes. But we cannot modify those values in any case.

Please refer to the below link to understand it better.

The tuple is created with or without a round bracket as below.

# Sample program to return as Tuple without bracket
def first():
 a="string"
 b=10
 return a,b
a,b=first()
print(a,b)

The above python function returns more than one value.

string 10

Tuple returns within a bracket as follows.

# Sample program to return as Tuple with bracket
def first():
 a="string"
 b=10
 return (a,b)
a,b=first()
print(a,b)

string 10

2 . Return as List :

The list is also a collection created with square bracket.

The list helps us in returning multiple values in python .

It is mutable in nature.

# Sample program to return as List
def second():
 a="apple"
 b=50
 return [a,b]
second_list=second()
print(second_list)

We return multiple values from the python function using the list.

['apple', 50]

We can identify the datatype of the return by using the below command
