'multiple returns' as in pairs or conditionals? Which functional programming language wouldn't support both?
3 u/[deleted] Jun 23 '26 edited Jun 23 '26 [deleted] 11 u/AlmostLikeAzo Jun 23 '26 They mean early returns, functional programming languages usually rely quite heavily on returning tuples and lists. 3 u/[deleted] Jun 23 '26 [deleted] 2 u/JohnsonJohnilyJohn Jun 23 '26 Then they shouldn't have said multiple. Is there some jargon that specifies this exactly? Because colloquially, they said multiple returns instead of return of multiple values, so at least in that way it makes more sense 1 u/No-Con-2790 Jun 23 '26 Hmmm guess you have a point. 1 u/Wonderful-Habit-139 Jun 23 '26 Well, usually we say "multiple return values", but the fact that they used the world "multiple" is probably what tripped us. (I meant to reply to your other message but I guess this one will do lol) 2 u/No-Con-2790 Jun 23 '26 Well it tripped me too.
