Function returning multiple vectors

Hi,
I'd like to assemble three vectors in a function then return them to the caller. Something along these lines:
function [A, B, C] = myFct()
A(0) = 'Lorem'; A(1) = 'ipsum';
B(1) = -1 B(2) = 10
C(0) = 'Dolor' C(1) = 'amet'
The length of A, B and C is always identical.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks in advance!

function [A B C]=myFct
%if the values have diferent sizes or classes replace [] with {}
A=['Lorem' 'ipsum'];
B=[-1 10];
C=['Dolor' 'amet'];
end

[a b c] = func_name()
%define a b c
a = {'lorem','ipsum'}
b = [1 10]
c = {'Dolor','amet'}
end
Call it from the command line or another function with
[a b c] = func_name
You may also want to read about cell arrays since that's what you'll need for multiple strings.

MATLAB begins indexing at one, not zero, by the way.

you got the code almost done but like Sean said 'MATLAB begins indexing at one, not zero, by the way.'
if (u== 0)
A(1) = 'Lorem';
else
A(1) = 'Quisce';
end

Embedded MATLAB Functions are always that annoying, the problem is that on those functions before you work with variables you must give them something of the same class (and probably size).
Initialize every variable you use with a value
objectIDs=[0 0];
animationNames=['' ''];
animationValues=[0 0];
%now insert your code

Sorry to interrupt you guys but the code above does not work, you have to modify: "A(1) = 'Lorem';" to "A(1,:)='Lorem'; ", because what you're trying to do is to create an array of strings. See here for more information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7100841/create-an-array-of-strings. P/S: I'm new here so please correct me if i'm wrong
