You could use generator functions to yield different values each time it gets called (python)

I'd say it can't. It can return a list or a tuple with multiple values. Technically, that's pretty much the same as returning a string (which is an array of chars) and I don't think anyone would define that as "returning multiple values"

I'm not a Python expert so won't give an example but in other languages a collection or an object can be returned which contains multiple values. Multiple values can also be returned via pass by reference parameters. I will let a python programmer give you language specific examples.

Yes, it can. def foo(): return 1, 2 a, b = foo() #a = 1 and b = 2

If you return a list you can split it to return multiple values .... RETURN KEYWORD can be used only ONCE 🤔

Yes, it returns a list, and then we do unpacking.

https://code.sololearn.com/c80xZ9OOz6c3/?ref=app So what do I need to do to this to improve it. It treats each character in the list as a value instead of the values itself like you would expect. I made it work with 1 digit numbers, but I plan to do more
