Returning Multiple Values
def square_point(x, y, z):
x_squared = x * x
y_squared = y * y
z_squared = z * z
# Return all three values:
return x_squared, y_squared, z_squared
three_squared, four_squared, five_squared = square_point(3, 4, 5)Python functions are able to return multiple values using one return statement. All values that should be returned are listed after the return keyword and are separated by commas.
In the example, the function square_point() returns x_squared, y_squared, and z_squared.
