Thread: Value returning function

You should by enlightening us on what differs ebtween a value returning funciton and any other function.

In your function just "return value;"

Your function has to be of the type you wish to return.

Then simply do everything you want your function to do, and end it with:

Return (whatever you want);

Return 5;
Return 5*5;
Return (5*variable);
return variable_name;

Are all valid.

You can have multiple if statements and each one has a ‘return XXX;’ and your function will end when it returns those.

When you call that function in your program, say it returns the integer of 5.

temp = ( 5* function_name());

Would be the same as

temp = (5*5);

Your question changed by the time I hit reply and post....

You understood what I was looking for.

I changed my question to try and clarify what I was looking for. When you are new to C++ it is hard to even know how to phrase your questions to get the answers you are looking for.

Thanks for your reply
