Returning multiple variables from a funciton. 1

[milage]

I can't believe that I am going to ask this but how do you return more than one variable from a method in Java? Is it the same as in C++ by passing a references to all the variables? Is so what is the syntax, could you give me a sample method declaration.

Thanks in advance.

Well, you cannot return multiple variables using reference (if the variables are objects) like in C++. You need to send back the multiple values in an array if all are the same type or as a Vector. You can do one step further if you want type safety. Create a value-holder class, instantiate it, set the values you want to be returned in it and return that object.

That's annoying! Ah well, thanks for the suggestions anyhow!
