Multiple Return Values

Functions often need to produce multiple related results. Python makes this natural by allowing functions to return multiple values at once. Python packages them into a tuple, which you can unpack into separate variables. This pattern is common throughout Python's standard library and professional codebases. Returning Multiple Values The return statement creates a tuple. You can unpack it immediately into separate variables (most common) or store the tuple for later access. Both approaches are valid; choose based on how you will use the values. Multiple Return Patterns Multiple return values are especially useful when computing related results that naturally belong together: Ignoring Some Return Values Success Status with Return A common pattern is returning a success indicator alongside t
