In oracle functions you can have in/out parameters to a Function ... It
is perfectly legal, but we are not *taught* that way ... That is the
problem. No one *teaches* us to "think outside the box".

That is not necessarily true.

It depends on which guru you listen to.

Steven Feuerstein says 'only one return'.

Larry Wall says 'why?'.

I agree with Larry.

I've written convoluted code in the past to try and use the 'only 1
return' rule, and decided it was silly.

Use what works best for the language you're programming in.
