Suggestion: Add a when Error occurred event. It is better than throwing a YailRuntimeError for that.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion, but do you know how to do it? I am still learning..
Also why you got that error?

For fast operations like this with one input and one output,
it would be more convenient to offer a block with input and output ports,
like a math block.

Also, offer sample input annd output examples in your tool tip docs.

What @ABG mean is you shouldn't use void, instead you should return something directly.

I don't have any error. I am just suggesting. Use a try-catch statement to catch the exception error, and use an event block to handle it.

Example:

@SimpleEvent(description = "Raises when error occurred.")
    public void ErrorOccurred(String error) {
        EventDispatcher.dispatchEvent(this, "ErrorOccurred", error);
    }

@SimpleFunction(description = "Integer addition")
    public int Addition(int a, int b){
        try {
              return a + b;
        } catch (Exception e) {
              ErrorOccurred(e.getMessage());
              return 0;
        }
    }
