Hello everyone, In this tutorial, we will show you how to return multiple values in the Go language. The following example program has been tested and shared in the post.
Syntax
func function_name(arg1 type, arg2 type, ...) (return_type1, return_type2, ...) { return return_value1, return_value2, ... }
Go – Return and Get Multiple Values from Function
The Go programming language has many notable features, returning a multiple-values from the function is one of the cool features with Go programming language. In the below example, we have created a function called arithmetic() which is responsible to perform arithmetic operations such as Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division by taking two integer numbers as argument. The arithmetic() function execute and will return multiple outputs for each operation.
package main import ( "fmt" ) func main() { var a, b int fmt.Println("Enter the first number : ") fmt.Scanf("%d", &a) // reading first number fmt.Println("Enter the second number : ") fmt.Scanf("%d", &b) // reading second number // assigning the multiple returned values to variables var add, sub, mul, div int = arithmetic(a, b) fmt.Println("the given a = ", a, "and b = ", b) fmt.Println("Addition :", add) fmt.Println("Subtraction :", sub) fmt.Println("Multiplication :", mul) fmt.Println("Division :", div) } func arithmetic(a int, b int) (int, int, int, int) { return a + b, a - b, a * b, a / b }
Output
Enter the first number : 20 Enter the second number : 10 the given a = 20 and b = 10 Addition : 30 Subtraction : 10 Multiplication : 200 Division : 2
