Earlier this week I ran into a description of 
Code complexity is a subject that is taught early on in Computer Science curricula. Not sure if early is the reason why many software developers tend to forget what it is and how to apply it.
Most software developers now a day write code using object oriented (OO) programming languages. In some cases, due to performance reasons, some code may be written using a non OO language. One way or the other, the question may come up if return codes are better than using exceptions. I do not believe you can come with enough reasons to justify one method or the other which would be accepted by most software developers. What I will do is discuss some considerations and give my opinion. Please take it all with a grain of salt.
