C# return variables
- by pb01
In a debate regarding return variables, some members of the team prefer a method to return the result directly to the caller, whereas others prefer to declare a return variable that is then returned to the caller (see code examples below)
The argument for the latter is that it allows a developer that is debugging the code to find the return value of the method before it returns to the caller thereby making the code easier to understand: This is especially true where method calls are daisy-chained.
Are there any guidelines as to which is the most efficient and/or are there any other reasons why we should adopt one style over another?
Thanks
private bool Is2(int a)
{
return a == 2;
}
private bool Is3(int a)
{
var result = a == 3;
return result;
}
