It's considered a bad pratice use return to end a function?

Question

I\'m a PHP and ActionScript developer, and in some of my functions I use return to end it. Example:

private function lolsome(a:String):void
{
           


        

Answer 1

I use it when i'm too lazy to declare a flag and test it. But the fact is: If you use break, return, and that kind of instructions in the middle of your code, you will sometimes have to refactor it when adding functionnalities.

So I consider it a bad practice, but very much used. Well it's just my opinion :p
