    Due to following two reason I preferred returning an error code instead of 
an exception.
    1. Returning a pre-defined error code makes it  usage more flexible as 
raising an exception or continue will be defined by the user of the method.
    2. "INVALID_INPUT" is a Marvin error code used by other utility methods to 
signal bad inputs and this maintains that pattern.
