I want to return two objects from a Java method and was wondering what could be a good way of doing so?
The possible ways I can think of are: return a HashMap
(since the two Objects are related) or return an ArrayList
of Object
objects.
To be more precise, the two objects I want to return are (a) List
of objects and (b) comma separated names of the same.
I want to return these two Objects from one method because I dont want to iterate through the list of objects to get the comma separated names (which I can do in the same loop in this method).
Somehow, returning a HashMap
does not look a very elegant way of doing so.
