# scipy.integrate.ode.get_return_code

ode.get_return_code()

  Extracts the return code for the integration to enable better control if the integration fails.

  In general, a return code > 0 implies success, while a return code < 0 implies failure.

  Notes

  This section describes possible return codes and their meaning, for available integrators that can be selected by `set_integrator` method.

  “vode”

  Return Code | Message
  --- | ---
  2 | Integration successful.
  -1 | Excess work done on this call. (Perhaps wrong MF.)
  -2 | Excess accuracy requested. (Tolerances too small.)
  -3 | Illegal input detected. (See printed message.)
  -4 | Repeated error test failures. (Check all input.)
  -5 | Repeated convergence failures. (Perhaps bad Jacobian supplied or wrong choice of MF or tolerances.)
  -6 | Error weight became zero during problem. (Solution component i vanished, and ATOL or ATOL(i) = 0.)

  “zvode”

  Return Code | Message
  --- | ---
  2 | Integration successful.

  -3 | Illegal input detected. (See printed message.)
  -4 | Repeated error test failures. (Check all input.)
  -5 | Repeated convergence failures. (Perhaps bad Jacobian supplied or wrong choice of MF or tolerances.)

  “dopri5”

  Return Code | Message
  --- | ---
  1 | Integration successful.
  2 | Integration successful (interrupted by solout).
  -1 | Input is not consistent.
  -2 | Larger nsteps is needed.
  -3 | Step size becomes too small.
  -4 | Problem is probably stiff (interrupted).

  “lsoda”

  Return Code | Message
