Algorithm

Function Definition Algorithm:

  • Start
  • Define a function with a meaningful name
  • Specify input parameters, if any
  • Declare variables for multiple return values
  • Perform computations to determine return values
  • Return the values using the return statement
  • End
  • def return_multiple_values(input_parameter1, input_parameter2, ...): result1 = ... result2 = ... # Perform computations # ... return result1, result2, ...

  • Function Call Algorithm:

    • Start
    • Call the function with appropriate arguments
    • Capture the returned values in variables
    • End
     
  • output1, output2, ... = return_multiple_values(input_value1, input_value2, ...)

  • Use Returned Values Algorithm:

    • Start
    • Utilize the captured values for further processing or display
    • End
     
  1. print("Result 1:", output1) print("Result 2:", output2) # ...

Note: This is a high-level algorithmic representation, and you can adapt it to the specific details and requirements of your progra

 

Code Examples

#1 Code Example with Python Programming

Code - Python Programming

# Function Definition
def calculate_rectangle_properties(length, width):
    # Calculate area and perimeter of a rectangle
    area = length * width
    perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
    # Return multiple values
    return area, perimeter

# Function Call
length_input = float(input("Enter the length of the rectangle: "))
width_input = float(input("Enter the width of the rectangle: "))

# Call the function and capture the returned values
rectangle_area, rectangle_perimeter = calculate_rectangle_properties(length_input, width_input)

# Use Returned Values
print("\nRectangle Properties:")
print("Area:", rectangle_area)
print("Perimeter:", rectangle_perimeter)

Enter the length of the rectangle: 5
Enter the width of the rectangle: 3
Rectangle Properties:
Area: 15.0
Perimeter: 16.0

#2 Code Example- Return values using comma

Code - Python Programming

def name():
    return "John","Armin"

# print the tuple with the returned values
print(name())

# get the individual items
name_1, name_2 = name()
print(name_1, name_2)
Copy The Code & Try With Live Editor

Output

x
–
+
cmd
('John', 'Armin')
John Armin

#3 Code Example- Using a dictionary

Code - Python Programming

def name():
    n1 = "John"
    n2 = "Armin"

    return {1:n1, 2:n2}

names = name()
print(names)
Copy The Code & Try With Live Editor

Output

x
–
+
cmd
{1: 'John', 2: 'Armin'}
