qa function to return 3 values

[Jay Ess 5]

i have a function which i want it to retrun 3 values, for example

a=1+1

b=2*2

c=3+5

so my function needs to return the three values which then want to be able to store in a seperate varaible,

how can I do this please?

call your quickapp function with something like

 

a, b, c = self:quickappfunction()

 

 

and in the end of your quickapp function end with 

 

function QuickApp:quickappfunction()

  a=1+1

  b=2*2

  c=3+5

  return a, b, c

end

thank you @SmartHomeEddy

in a qa do you set all functions as function QuickApp:name()

or only when you want to reference it from outside the qa?

yes as function QuickApp:name()

I want to keep it simple ?

 

But it is better to use local functions if possible.
