How to return multiple values from a python function? Bellow is a Python 3 code to simulate a slot machine with using functions get_slot_results() and the function must return three values. In python 3 it says the user defined functions can not return more than one value so I had this issue in get_slot_results() function bellow. I found a hint of a workaround by using either a list or a tuple but not sure how to do that in the program body
import random
def play_again():
while True:
pa = input("Do you want to play again? ==> ")
if pa == 'y' or pa == 'Y' or pa == 'yes' or pa == 'YES':
return True
break
elif pa == 'n' or pa == 'N' or pa == 'no' or pa == 'NO':
return False
break
else:
print("You must enter Y/YES/N/NO to continue. Please try again")
pass
def get_wager(bank : int):
while True:
b = int(input("How many chips do you want to wager? ==> "))
if b <= 0:
print("Too low a value, you can only choose 1 -", bank, "chips")
elif b > bank:
print("Too high a value, you can only choose 1 -", bank, "chips")
elif b > 0 and b <= bank:
break
return b
def get_slot_results():
r1 = random.randint(1, 10)
r2 = random.randint(1, 10)
r3 = random.randint(1, 10)
return r1, r2, r3
def get_matches(ra, rb, rc) -> int:
if ra == rb and ra == rc:
return 3
elif ra == rb or ra == rc or rb == rc:
return 2
else:
return 0
def get_bank():
while True:
bn = int(input("How many chips do you want to start with? ==>"))
if bn <= 0:
print("Too low a value, you can only choose 1 - 100 chips")
elif bn > 100:
print("Too high a value, you can only choose 1 - 100 chips")
elif bn > 0 and bn <= 100:
return bn
break
def get_payout(wager, matches):
if matches == 3:
pay1 = (10 * wager) - wager
elif matches == 2:
pay1 = (3 * wager) - wager
elif matches == 0:
pay1 = - wager
return pay1
if __name__ == "__main__":
playing = True
wager = 0
while playing:
bank = get_bank()
while bank >= wager:
wager = get_wager(bank)
get_slot_results() #**Here I need to get the three values**
matches = get_matches(reel1, reel2, reel3)
payout = get_payout(wager, matches)
bank = bank + payout
print("Your spin", reel1, reel2, reel3)
print("You matched", matches, "reels")
print("You won/lost", payout)
print("Current bank", bank)
print()
print("You lost all", 0, "in", 0, "spins")
print("The most chips you had was", 0)
playing = play_again()
