How can we use return function twice or more at a time

Question

Why we can't use return twice and more in program for example:
var a = parseInt(prompt("enter your 1st number"));
var b = parseInt(prompt("enter your 2nd number"));
function add (n1,n2){
var total= n1+n2;
var sub= n1-n2;
return total ; //here we can't use together
return sub ; /* how we can use this if i want to execute both iin same Function? */

}
document.write(add(a,b) );

An function only return one value but you can use if and else statements to do so like this is an example add it with your code.

var entry = prompt("Choose addition or subtraction");
if(entry=="addition"){
var a =prompt("Enter number 1")
var b =prompt("Enter number 2")
var c =(+a)+(+b);
document.write("The answer is "+c);
}else if(entry=="subtraction"){
var d =prompt("Enter number 1")
var e =prompt("Enter number 2")
var f =d-e
document.write("The answer is "+f)
}else{
alert("Error!");
}

You can't, it is only possible once.
