I can't vouch for the best way, but here is one way, return a list of the
values
multipleoutput<-function(x)
{
squared<-x^2
cubed<-x^3
exponential<-exp(x)
factorialVal<-factorial(x)
return(list(squared=squared, cubed=cubed, exponential=exponential,
factorialVal=factorialVal))
}
Hope this is helpful,
