The return type
Is there a way for a method to not return anything if a certain condition is met, despite the fact that I have specified an integer return type for that particular method?

Thanks
Marcus

Only way I can think of is to have the method throw an exception, like this:

Code:
public int someMethod(int input) throws SomeException { if(input <= 0) { throw new SomeException("Input must be greater than zero."); } else { //do something return something; } }
