> 1. ... is better to have only one return
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.
