return multiple values in one method

[binwang2]

I would like to have a user defined method that can return multiple values. Is there a way to define it?

The Ninja Script guide has an example on returning one calculated values. I copied it here:
// This method performs a calculation and returns a double value
private double Multiply(double input)
{
return input * 10;
}

What i want to do is to return 3 values: input*10, input*20, and input*30. Any way to accomplish that? Thanks.

A method cannot return more than one value. However you can return an array of values. Unfortunately we do not have the bandwidth to assist with array creations and such. You can try searching google for resources. There are many around demonstrating how to do this.

For instance http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread91439.html

by reference

Hi binwang2,

in case you don't like to construct data structures for result handling you could deliver the parameters by reference. That means they are modified at the source; in this case in the calling environment.

Ralph, thanks for pointing out another way.
