help with functions (first time)

this is my first time using functions and i would like to know how i should pass the seconds and minutes from the readtime function to the displaytime function?

Code:

#include <iostream.h>

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int ReadTime(int Minutes, int Seconds) // dont see the purpose of this but the book im using says to have 2 parameter :|
/* get seconds and time */
{
	cout<<"\tEnter minutes: ";
	cin>>Minutes;
	cout<<"\tEnter seconds: ";
	cin>>Seconds;

	return (Minutes, Seconds);
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void DisplayTime(int Minutes, int Seconds)
/* display the time in hh:mm:ss form */
{
	int Hours=0;

	while(Minutes>60)
	{
		
		if (Minutes>=60)
		{
			Minutes=Minutes-60;
			Hours++;
		}

		if (Seconds>=60)
		{
			Seconds=Seconds-60;
			Minutes++;
		}
	}

	cout<<Hours<<":";
	
	if(Minutes<10)
	{
		cout<<"0"<<Minutes<<":";
	}

	else if(Minutes>=10)
	{
		cout<<Minutes<<":";
	}
	
	if(Seconds<10)
	{
		cout<<"0"<<Seconds;
	}

	else if(Seconds>=10)
	{
		cout<<Seconds;
	}
	
	cout<<endl;
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main()
{
	int Minutes=1,Seconds=1;
	
	cout<<"Enter a time:"<<endl;
	ReadTime(Minutes, Seconds);
	cout<<"Your time was ";
	DisplayTime(Minutes, Seconds);

	return (0);
}

What book are you reading?? I do not think that you can have a function return more than one value unless you put it into a struct. or class.

well here is the question from Lawrencevill Press "Programming in c++"

a). write two utility functions, reatime() and displaytime(), that handle reading and writting of times. Test the function with the code:

{
int min,sec;
cout<<"Enter a time: ";
ReadTime(min,sec);
cout<<"Your time was: ";
DisplayTime(min,sec );
}

The program out put should look like

Enter a time:

pass-by-reference

void ReadTime(int &Minutes, int &Seconds)
