Is it possible to have a function return more than one result consisting of different variables? and if so, how?
E.g. Have a function return both a boolean and an integer

sure, just with it in the header

function something(var i: Integer): Boolean;

it will return a boolean as the result
and it will return a integer in i

Yes in create a type and make it return that,
Type
boolInt = record
bool = Boolean;
Number = Integer;

and then do Func Name:boolInt;
and use it by
Function Derp():boolInt;
Her := Derp();

then Her.bool = true/false
and Her.Number will be a interger

E: Look at shut who ninja'd me it is so much simpler i forgot about it :p mine is long winded

ah, I slightly get it but I've got a few more questions, if you don't mind :)

Once the function runs how would the results be set e.g.:

function something(var i: Integer): Boolean;
begin
  if something then
    result := true //boolean
    result := 44
end;

would that set both variables or am i doing it wrong?

Edit: @Troll: i'm gonna try it now, brb

so i works like a global variable?

another point, are things between the brackets always input and not outputs?

function something(var i: Integer): Boolean;

it it has var before it then it is a input and a output

but if it does not then it is just a input

ok thanks a lot man I love you

+ripped everyone that helped

Don't rep me.. only stating what troll posted.

program new;

type
  return = record
    Int: Integer;
    bool: Boolean;
  end;

Function Returnstwo(I: integer): return;
begin
  Result.bool:= true;
  Result.Int:= 3;
end;  

thanks a lot for making it clearer :) just one question about troll's method: outside of the function, how would you set the result
e.g.:

boolean := Returnstwo;
int := Returnstwo;

simple as that or what?

Var
  I : Integer;
  B : Boolean;

I := Returnstwo.Int
B := Returnstwo.bool

much much clearer now thanks to everyone :)
