Should We Return Null From Our Methods?(leedumond.com)

submitted by leedumond(2139) 2 years, 8 months ago

I read a interesting article recently about the potential perils of Null Check Hell. The author’s suggestion? Stop allowing any of your methods to return nulls, ever . No nulls returned, no null checks necessary. Problem solved, right?
