How to get a single output from a function with multiple outputs?

Question

I have the following simple function:

def divide(x, y):
    quotient = x/y
    remainder = x % y
    return quotient, remainder  

x = divide(22, 7)
<         


        

Answer 1

You are essentially returning a tuple, which is an iterable we can index, so in the example above:

print x[0] would return the quotient and

print x[1] would return the remainder
