How can I return multiple values from a C# method?

In C#, you can return multiple values using tuples, out parameters, or by creating a custom class. Which method would you like to know more about?

Can you explain how to use tuples for this?

Sure! You can use a tuple to return multiple values like this: public (int, string) GetValues() { return (1, "example"); }. You can then access the values using item1 and item2.

What if I want to use out parameters instead?

With out parameters, you define them in the method signature. For example: public void GetValues(out int number, out string text) { number = 1; text = "example"; }. You call it like this: GetValues(out var num, out var str);.

Thanks! What about creating a custom class?

Creating a custom class is straightforward. Define a class with properties for each value, then return an instance of that class. This is useful for more complex data.
