How can a function have multiple return values in Julia (vs. MATLAB)?

Question

In MATLAB, the following code returns m and s:

function [m,s] = stat(x)
n = length(x);
m = sum(x)/n;
s = sqrt(sum((x-m).^2/n));
end         


        

Answer 1

How would I define my stat function in Julia?

function stat(x)
  n = length(x)
  m = sum(x)/n
  s = sqrt(sum((x-m).^2/n))
  return m, s
end

For more details, see the section entitled Multiple Return Values in the Julia documentation:

In Julia, one returns a tuple of values to simulate returning multiple values. [...]
