Hi everybody,
I am wondering what are good ways of avoiding multiple return points and yet not being caught in multiple if /else complex logic.
Is it OK to return early? I think in C# it's a normal practice, but what if I need to format output? E.g. at the bottom of each method I have
String returnMessage = Base.GetReturnString(errorValue, statusCode, messageText);
Logging.Log("Returning " + returnMessage, 2);
return returnMessage;
So, should I put these 3 lines in its own method and just do
return LogAndReturn(errorValue, statusCode, messageText);
every time I need to exit the procedure earlier?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
