Error codes in computers can be passed to the system itself, to judge how to respond to the error. Often error codes come synonymous with an exit code or a return value. The system may also choose to pass the error code to its user(s). The [[Blue screen of death]] is an example of how the [[Microsoft Windows|Windows operating system]] communicates error codes to the user. Error codes also use hexadecimal, which is a from of writing the computer or device uses.
