Function of string ???

hi everyone, i just want to ask that can i make the following code into function?

Code:

---


    if(physicalCycle(dob, currentDate) < 100 && physicalCycle(dob, currentDate) > 0)
    {
        cout<<"Ascending";
    }
    else if(physicalCycle(dob, currentDate) < 0)
    {
        cout<<"Descending";
    }
    else
    {
        cout<<"Critical day";
    }

---

if yes, wat data type should i use? string?

Yes, you could. It could return a std::string, or void if you just plan to print from within the function.

can u give me an example of returning those as void..

Well I'm making a total guess as to what dob and currentDate are, but I guess thy're strings. You'd pass them in as const references though, and specify the return type as void.

Code:

---

void biorythmState(const string& dob, const string& currentDate) {
    if(physicalCycle(dob, currentDate) < 100 && physicalCycle(dob, currentDate) > 0)
    {
        cout<<"Ascending";
    }
    else if(physicalCycle(dob, currentDate) < 0)
    {
        cout<<"Descending";
    }
    else
    {
        cout<<"Critical day";
    }
}
