== In computer programming ==
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 status|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 can be used within a computer program to represent an anomalous condition. A computer program can take different actions depending on the value of an error code.
