    The easy way is to "return". Be carefull here as the return value is dependant on your function declaration.

    Code:
    int foobar(int& x){
    while(x < 500){
    x++;
    
    
    }
    return x; //go back to main
    }
    
    int main(void){
    int x = 0;
    foobar(x);
    cout << x << endl;
    return 0; //return 0 to Operating System
    }
    Is that what you wanted?

    Oh... you can use exit(0) too, to finish the program at any time.....
