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 can either unpack the return values when you call your method:

x, y = divide(22, 7)

Or you can just grab the first returned value:

x = divide(22, 7)[0]
