Multiple vector output in a function

I am trying to define a function that returns two vectors.

function [X, Y] = element_select(A,B,astart,astep,bstart,bstep)

X = A(astart:astep:numel(A));

Y = B(bstart:bstep:numel(B));

end

For example, let's consider A = [1 2 3 4 5], B = [6 7 8 9 10], astep = 1, bstep = 2 and astart = bstart = 1. I would like the answer to be two different vectors X = [1 2 3 4 5] and Y = [6 8 10]. Instead, I get only one vector ans = [1 2 3 4 5].

Could anyone, please, give me a hint on how to solve this?

You need to specify that you want both outputs:

[X,Y] = element_select(A,B,astart,astep,bstart,bstep)

X =

     1     2     3     4     5

Y =

     6     8    10
