I Can Add!

I fianally made a program that will add :) , it wasn't as hard as i thought!

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int add ( int x , int y );
int main ()
{
  int x;
  int y; 
  cout << "Firt number to add:";
  cin>> x;
  cin.ignore();
  cout << "Second number to add:";
  cin>> y;
  cin.ignore();
  cout << "The sum is:" << add (x , y );
  cin.get();
  }
int add ( int x , int y )
{
 return x + y;
}

O and what is a php?

Hey Good on you I liked it,
Your get many people on here that will say things to try and put you off and discourage or say why are you wasting there time, just ignore them!
If you and me keep it up nothing could stop us, so keep at it.

PHP by the way is a Internet scripting langrage, in a way some of it looks similar to C++ like the decision and looping commands. Its a nice little langrage.

Anyway keep up the good work and beware of pointers!!

Ok, thanks
o and what is void supposed to do?

void means "nothing" or "empty". Your add functions isn't 'void' because it returns the sum of x and y. 'void' functions return nothing. Here's a simple example :

Code:

---

void PrintHello()
{
  cout << "hello" << endl;
}

---

however, don't use 'void' with main. main should always return an int.

I never noticed people doing this. Do you mean people who ask you to use code tags and read the faq before posting?

"langrage" should be "language" by the way

Nice program! Next you should try something that can do all 4 operations (/,*,+,-), and let's the user choose which one he wants to do.

Thats what i am doing right now, Thank you all

This kind of propaganda has to stop. Pointers are simple. Never let anyone else tell you otherwise. If in doubt, read the FAQ.

Very true.

I agree with pianorain,

Learning pointers is an important part of every C and C++ programmer. Pointers are simple to learn once you grasp the concept. In addition to the FAQ, there is a short tutorial amongst these boards that may be a helpful addition: Learning Pointers

Hey again,
I never said don’t learn pointers I agree pointers, will make programmes work better and they need to be learnt, but I think someone new needs to understand, strings, arrays functions ect, Before they even attempt pointers, they get confusing when new.
