You can return an array if the values are of the same type or you can send back an object that contains the two values as it's properties.

Yes, create setter and getter methods for the two properties.

Set the two properties from within your method, return the object and then read the properties to get the values.

If v1 and v2 are objects instead of primitives, the easiest solution is an Object array (or a specific array if they have the same class). Here's a trivial example:This will output the following.Does that clarify it? Ben's suggestion is to define a class with fields that will hold the returned objects along with a pair of get/set methods (accessors) for each. This class would satisfy the JavaBean requirements, so you might want to look that up at Sun's Java site if you need examples.

I hope this isn't too hard to read.
I tried to make it, simple, terse, and readable, in a short amount of time.

Hii

Can we define a function in A class which can take 2 variables and call the function in B class so that v3 and v4 can be sent to class A ?

Thanks
