Re: [c-prog] return type

[Benjamin Scott]

A return value of Null is a good return value for failure!  
However, a Integer indicating how many people records match may be good too.

So in your opinion which option is best for your program???

      provided with a struct:

struct Person{

     char name[10];

     unsigned int id;

};



and a function :

Person get_person( int)

if the check in get_person failed, what should get_person return?

for example

if(int <0){

   return #Oh, what should I return?

}
