How can i return two different values into separate variables?

Question

def a(list1, list2):
temp = list1
list2.extend(list1)
list1.extend(temp)
return list1, list2
abd=[1, 2, 3]
dgf=[4, 5, 6]

x,y =a(abd, dgf)
#both list1 and list2 are type: list
#I want to unpack list into x and list2 into y using "return" , please help

Answer 1

def is a reserved word as in x,y (abd,def)
abd and other list needs to be initialised or use list ('abd')
list.extend used incorrectly

abd=[1,2,3]
dfg=[3,4,5]

def a(list1, list2):
temp = list1[:]
list1.extend(list2)
list2.extend(temp)
return list1, list2

x,y =a(abd, dfg)
print (x)
print (y)

Answer 2

You can return 2 because the comma makes it a tuple

def a(list1, list2):
temp = list1[:]
list1.extend(list2)
list2.extend(temp)
return list1, list2

x,y =a(list ('abc'), list ('dfg'))
print(x)
print(y)

short answer... you can't.
you can return a tuple/list/dictionary... and break it up.

The question has two parts.

How can i return two different values into separate variables?

The end state is 2 separate varibles that get their values from one function, and that can be done. The tuple is just the packaging that the 2 variables are kept in. By doing x,y=func(a,b) the tuple is unpacked into x and y.

So you can return two different values into separate variables.

Louis so it's not two...
It's one tuple.
