There's more...

The Kotlin standard library provides ready to use Pair and Triple classes. We can use them to return two and three values of any type. This eliminates the need to create a dedicated data classes for the return type. On the other hand, using data classes gives us the ability to operate on more meaningful names, which adds more clarity to the code.

The following example demonstrates using the Pair class to return two objects at the same time:

fun getBestScore(): Pair<String, Int> = Pair("Max", 1000)
val (name, score) = getBestScore()
print("User $name has the best score of $score points")
