How to return multiple values from a function in JavaScript

A function cannot return multiple values. However, you can return similar results by returning an array containing multiple values, as shown in the following example.
 

Example 1: How to return multiple values from a function in JavaScript

// Function definition
function Sum(a, b, c){
    var s = a + b + c;
    var arr = [a, b, c, s];
    return arr;
}
 
// Store the returned value in a variable
var arr = Sum(1, 2, 3);
 
// Display values
console.log(arr[0]); // Output: 1
console.log(arr[1]); // Output: 2
console.log(arr[2]); // Output: 3
console.log(arr[3]); // Output: 6

 

Example 2: How to return multiple values from a function in JavaScript

You can also return an object, as shown in the following example:

// Function definition
function Sum(a, b, c){
    var s = a + b + c;
    var obj = {
        a: a,
        b: b,
        c: c,
        s: s
    };
    return obj;
}
 
// Store the returned value in a variable
var obj = Sum(1, 2, 3);
 
// Display values
console.log(obj.a); // Output: 1
console.log(obj.b); // Output: 2
console.log(obj.c); // Output: 3
console.log(obj.s); // Output: 6
