Is there a way to return entire structures in one function

i was looking at the program that i usually work and i have different functions for getting the first number, the operation, and the other number, and i was wondering is there a way to return an entire structure

thank you.

P.S
and it would be nice if someone could tell me how to direct one function to another. thank you

Are you familiar with structs or classes? A simple struct could hold the number, operation, other number, etc. You could use the struct just like any other type like int or double, which includes returning it from a function.

To "direct" one function to another, just call the other function. I might not be understanding what you're asking, though.

If you want to use a function to modify something inside a structure, just specify the struct name, followed by the struct member (separated by a (.) period), like this:

Code:

---

int func1() {
  STRUCTNAME.STRUCTMEMBER = 5;
  cout<< STRUCTNAME.STRUCTMEMBER;
}

---

It would be better to use a single function though to modify and/or display all elements in a struct.
You get the idea, I'm sure. It is fairly easy. ;)

i mean can you return a structure with different variable types (2 floats and a char)

The C approach would be

Code:

---

struct Result_t{
  double part1;
  double part2;
  char part3;
};

Result_t func(double param1, double param2, char param3){
  Result_t result= {param1, param2, param3};
  result.part2 /= 2;
  return result;
}

---

But generally, in C++ you would instead design classes that do a little more than just serve as a way to return multiple bits of data. You would make a class that groups related data together and provides function on what you might do with that data.
