Beyond Coding

Say you make a model that returns a single value such as the name of a user. Might be an idea to plan ahead just in case you need to return multiple results.

eg.

$name = $this->user->get_name($id)->real_name

better than

$name = $this->user->get_name($id)

because what if we need something else later like a nickname?

$name = $this->user->get_name($id)->nickname
