No its not....

You set a variable. ... retVal ... you initialize it however you want, then in your flow, instead of returning, you assign the value to retVal and at the end you return retVal.

I hate code with multiple return points and numerous out parameters. You cant test it and you end up with nothing but a spaghettie code mix...
