return something in a void

well my question is:

if i want to return something from a void how do i do that like:

Code:

---

void calculater()
{
cout << "5+5=";
return 10;
}
int main()
{
int number=calculater();
cout <<number;
getchar();
}

---

how?

you don't. you change the return type

how cna you give me a clue?

Code:

---

int calculator()
{
//...
}

---

You can not do that.

void specifically means no return

if you wan't to return an integer, just declare your function to return an integer:

Code:

---

int MyFunction()
{
    cout << "My Statement";
    return 10;
}

---

Also please indent code when you post it. :)

oh thx you, can you return a string to?`;D

You can return a pointer to a char, or you could accept a pointer as an argument and manipulate that string.

x = function().

As long as x is of the same type as what function returns, or it is something that can be automatically converted (e.g. int to float, float to int, char * to string) it shouldn't cause any problem.
