I know EXIT_SUCCESS/EXIT_FAILURE is typically used for main() exit to indicate the successfulness of a program.

But is it also used (commonly or suggested) for normal function returns? I’m trying to write some “standard” code so wondering if I should use them instead of 0 or -1..

    EXIT_SUCCESS is a simbolic constant.-

    You can use EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE as well as 0 for OK and non 0 for failure.

    Depends on taste, you can also make this

    #define WRONG 1
#define COOL  0

    and return those.-

    Use whatever you feel more comfortable with, but keep your selection all the way.

    Hope this helps!
