Return or not to return, that is the question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Just a quick straw-poll really:

What is your take on using 'return' when you end a function, if you
don't actually need to return a value?

If you have to return say a true/false as the result of an operation,
then it's an obvious choice. But what if all the function does is
perform an action and then quit? Do you like to use 'return' at the
end of it anyway, or do you just let it run into the closing } ?

Or do you perhaps do a 'return true' at the end, regardless, even if
the rest of your code never checks that value (on the basis that it
may do in the future)

Cheers,

Rich
