How to return 2 Lists or Arrays from a function?

Here's an example of how to do it.  Remember that in C# parameter values are passed by value by default.  In the case of the two arrayLists this has the appearance of passing by reference, however what you are passing is the address of the arrays when you make this call which is why it works.  If you passed a primitive variable like an "int" and tried to assign the value it wouldn't work this way.   Be sure to study the concept of parameter passing or you may confuse yourself here.
