Sum and product of 2 and 3
Input
sum_and_product(2, 3)
Output
(5, 6)
2 + 3 = 5, 2 * 3 = 6, so return the tuple (5, 6).

Implement a function that returns multiple values
Return multiple values from a function using tuples so callers can unpack results.

Problem statement
Write sum_and_product(a, b) which takes two numeric arguments and returns two values: their sum and their product. The return should be a tuple so callers can unpack it like s, p = sum_and_product(2, 3).
Task
Implement sum_and_product(a, b) that returns both the sum and the product of two numbers as a tuple (sum, product).
Examples
Input format
Two numeric arguments a and b.
Output format
A tuple with two elements: (a + b, a * b).
Constraints
Do not use external libraries. Handle ints and floats. Return a tuple so Python's default repr matches expected outputs.
Samples
Sample 1
Input
sum_and_product(0, 5)
Output
(5, 0)
0 + 5 = 5, 0 * 5 = 0.
