Return more then 1?

[ImaNOOB 0]

Is it possible to return more then 1 variable in a function? For example

func pie($a, $b)

       $a = $a * 2
       $b = $b * 2
       
       return $a
       return $b

endfunc

I dont believe so. Return an array:

global $x[3]

func pie($a, $b)

       $x[1] = $a * 2
       $x[2] = $b * 2
       
       return $x
endfunc

Or use ByRef (althought that will modify your variables in the callers context)

func pie(ByRef $a, ByRef $B)

       $a = $a * 2
       $b = $b * 2
      
endfunc

i use dim quite often... then i can make the value anything i want thoughout the entire script including any function

Dim $a, $b

and thats it

Valuater, members have been burned to the stake for using Call() when not needed with misuse. Same can be said with using Dim. Using Dim outside a function is as useless as using Local outside a function as well. The only thing of using these 2 declarators outside functions is the chance of confusion.

Here is a hopefully easy and good example of how declarators scopes are used/misused.

; Seen everywhere
Global $variable

; Why not be crystal clear and use Global
Dim $somevariable

; Why not be crystal clear and use Global
Local $redherring

Func _function()
    ; Seen only to this function
    Local $variable

    ; Seen everywhere as already Global
    Dim $variable

    ; Seen only to this function as not already Global
    Dim $anothervariable
EndFunc

Also have a look at SetExtended() for returning an integer
