Thread: Function returning more than one value?

Hi,
Is it possible for a single function to return more than one value?

Code:

void Prompt(void)

{
	double households[SIZE],
		   average=0,
		   maximum,
		   minimum,
		   input;
	
	int	   incomes; 	

	printf("\nPlease enter the families income.\n");

	for(incomes=0; incomes<SIZE; ++incomes)
	{
		printf("\nFamily (%d): " , incomes+1);
		scanf("%lf" , &input);
		average += maximum = minimum = input; 
		households[incomes] = input;
	}
				
return maximum;
return minimum;     /*like this*/
return average;
}

If so, how would the returns be coded in main()?

Pointers are your friends...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int foobar (int *n)
{
    *n = 10;
    return 5;
}

int main(void)
{
    int a;
    int b;

    a = foobar(&b);

    printf("a: %d\nb: %d\n", a, b);
    return 0;
}

Unfortunately I don't know pointers yet. So I guess a function alone can't do it?

I gave you a very simple example: understand and use it.

The answer to your question is no.

Define a structure and use that to return the values.

Don't know how to do that yet either.

then learn it...
