how to return more than one values?

[pothuri]

hi all...

 

I have to calculate two or three array variables in a function and return all these values to the main program...i know that a function can only return one value and a procedure doesnt return any values.......Is there any way that i could program such that i can return more than one value to the main program??......any help would be appreciated.

 

thanx

you can put these values in an array and return the array

Or maybe use global variables:)

thnx for the reply....my array sizes are arnd 50000 by 5(or 10) so if i append these 2 or 3 arrays into one array in the function and then separate those back in the main program.....its going to be a very bulky......isnt there any simpler solution????

guess you can pass the variables by reference. that way changes to their values are reflected back in the calling program too.

Create your own object (class) to handle those data and return this object
