How can I return two values on get method

Question

I will give two coordinate points with one set method and I will take them with get method. How can I do this? That's my set method but I can't write a get method for this because it can't return 2 int values. That's my set method

   public void setCoordinates(int x,int y)
   {
       this.x=x;
       this.y=y;
   }

And I must create two points like this:

 public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Point p1=new Point();
        Point p2=new Point();
        p1.setCoordinates(0,8);
        p2.setCoordinates(5,3);
        System.out.println(p1.getCoordinates()+p2.getCoordinates());
        System.out.println(p1.toString()+" "+p2.toString());
    }

You could make two getters. One for the x coordinate and one for the y coordinate.

Then it's just a matter of typing

System.out.println(p1.getXCoordinate());
System.out.println(p1.getYCoordinate());
