When returning a value of say ``uint`` type, is it possible to return an ``undefined`` or "null"-like value?
============================================================================================================
This is not possible, because all types use up the full value range.
You have the option to ``throw`` on error, which will also revert the whole
transaction, which might be a good idea if you ran into an unexpected
situation.
If you do not want to throw, you can return a pair::
pragma solidity >0.4.23 <0.6.0;
contract C {
uint[] counters;
function getCounter(uint index)
public
view
returns (uint counter, bool error) {
if (index >= counters.length)
return (0, true);
else
return (counters[index], false);
}
function checkCounter(uint index) public view {
(uint counter, bool error) = getCounter(index);
if (error) {
// Handle the error
} else {
// Do something with counter.
require(counter > 7, "Invalid counter value");
}
}
}
