Question

In a C program, I generally use EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE in exit() function to improve clarity and understandability of the program.

But in System.exit() I couldn’t use these MACROS.

I can define my own interface as

public interface ReturnValues {
  public int EXIT_SUCCESS = 0;
  public int EXIT_FAILURE = 1;
}

Other than my own implementation, is there any other way in java to use these Macros? (like using predefined library class variables or by implementing predefined interface etc..)

Answer 1

No, there is no predefined constants in Java for SUCCESS and FAILURE. Certainly because there might be several different kinds of failures, depending on each specific application.
