How to return a value using constructor in c#?

Question

I follow a convention that I won\'t use any print statements in classes, but I have done a parameter validation in a constructor. Please tell me how to return that validatio

Answer 1

The constructor does return a value - the type being constructed...

A constructor is not supposed to return any other type of value.

When you validate in a constructor, you should throw exceptions if the passed in values are invalid.

public class MyType
{
    public MyType(int toValidate)
    {
      if (toValidate < 0)
      {
        throw new ArgumentException("toValidate should be positive!");
      }
    }
}
