    @abhinandanprateek while it is permissible Python, it is considered an 
anti-pattern for a Python function to return different types.  In this case, it 
can return a scalar value or a multi-return.  Raising a ``ValueError`` is the 
idiomatic Python approach to handling an invalid parameter value.  In addition 
to ensuring that the function always returns the same type, raising an error in 
this manner will cause the test to fail fast without callers having the check 
the return to properly fail.
