Yes and no.  You can return "a" value, but that value may itself be a
tuple of values.  Or a list, dictionary or other kind of object.

If an int array has 10 things in it, it's not empty.  You don't
need to pre-declare the size of arrays (actually we call them
tuples and lists) in Python at all.  To make an empty list, just
use [] like this:

a = []

You can then fill it with whatever you like.  Also there is
no notion of "int array".  Each element may be of a different
type.

a = "Hello"
a += " world"

a now contains "Hello world"

You could use the str() constructor:    str(12) -->  "12"
Or you could use string formatting:     "%d" % 12  --> "12"
