'return' from try block in C# and C++

Question

I have a very simple question on C# and C++: is it a good practice to use return in try block? A long time ago I heard that it can produce some troubles for a compiler. But probably the modern compilers can handle this situation. Sample code:

try
{
   //do something
   return 25;
   //do something else
}
catch (Exception)
{
}

C++ and C# are *very* different languages, please don't conflate them. For example, it's not good practice in C# to manage pointers; while it is in C++. — Rob, Jul 27 '17 at 00:34

You can return at anytime, it's not bad practice to have a return statement in the try block and even the catch block. Actually, it often improves readability
