as an array ;)

this.runThisFunctionOnCall = function(){

    var array1 = [11,12,13,14,15];

    var array2 = [21,22,23,24,25];

    var array3 = [31,32,33,34,35];



    return [

     array1,

     array2,

     array3

    ];

}

call it like:

 var test =  this.runThisFunctionOnCall();

 var a = test[0][0] // is 11

 var b = test[1][0] // is 21

 var c = test[2][1] // is 32

or an object:

this.runThisFunctionOnCall = function(){

    var array1 = [11,12,13,14,15];

    var array2 = [21,22,23,24,25];

    var array3 = [31,32,33,34,35];



    return {

     array1: array1,

     array2: array2,

     array3: array3

    };

}

call it like:

 var test =  this.runThisFunctionOnCall();

 var a = test.array1[0] // is 11

 var b = test.array2[0] // is 21

 var c = test.array3[1] // is 32
