How can I return multiple values from a function?..

Answer / suman halder

1.we can apply "call by reference" mechanism within the
function so that multiple values get returned..

2.if the return types are homogeneous..i.e if we wanna return more than one integer values or more than one characters or any other type,then we can use an array to do that job for us as C provides various ways to return array from a function ..

*** if u try to return more than one value at a time through return statement ,last value will be returned and
all other values are ignored..
e.g
return 10,20,30;

it will only return 30

so,the most convenient way to do this is to use "call by reference" mechanism..
