passing multiple values from function?

I have created a function, from which I need to return multiple values.

function multi(value) {
... processing ...;
return value1, value2, value3;
}

My question is, when I call the function, how can I access those multiple
returned values?

is it something like:
value1, value2, value3 = multi(value);

or maybe:
result = multi(value);
value1 = result.value1;
value2 = result.value2;
value3 = result.value3;

Where are those returned values?

Thanks!

Unfortunately it's not Python we're dealing with, so this won't work.

What you could do is something like:

function multi(value) {
... processing ...;
return [value1, value2, value3];
};

var result = multi(value);
var value1 = result[0];
var value2 = result[1];
var value3 = result[2];

I know this is a bit verbose, but I reckon it's the easiest solution.
Another one would be to generate an object with the return values:

function multi(value) {
... processing ...;
return {'value1': value1,
'value2': value2,
'value3': value3};
};

var result = multi(value);
// now you can use result.value1, result.value2, result.value3

Hope that helps.
