For example, I have a mergeSort(alist) function that has return
return count, blist
that is, returns an integer that is the inversion counter and a list of values.
When you pass a list 5 4 3 1 2 5 and make print(mergeSort(lista)) , it is printed
(5, ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5']) .
How to get only the integer ( 5 ) of the counter?
As I wrote the question, something very simple occurred to me, I tried it and it worked so I decided to continue the question and leave the answer in case anyone has the same doubt.
Considering the example, just do
x, y = mergeSort(entrada)
print(x)
And so the x receives the first return and the y the second, being that they can be more variable according to the amount of returns of the function.
