    Please help with my code.

    Ok, I have to write a function called distance that will calculate the distance between 2 points in an x-y coordinate system. Each point will be specified by 2 double values. Also, this function will not contain any input/output code (i.e. no printf or scanf function calls).

    Write a complete program that will test your function.

    How am I supposed to test my results, if I can't have no input/output code? Please help me.


    This is my code, but I haven't finished it yet, because I don't know what to do after that. Please help.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <math.h>
     
    using namespace std;
     
    double distance(double xOne, double yOne, double xTwo, double yTwo)
                {
                      double xS, yS, result;
                      xS= xTwo - xOne;
                      xS= xS*xS;  // value of x squared under radical
                      yS = yTwo - yOne;
                      yS = yS*yS;  //value of y squared under radical
     
                      result = sqrt(xS + yS);
                      return result;
                }

    It says the FUNCTION cannot contain any input/output. I'm sure you can use it outside the function.

    Code:
    using namespace std;
    This isn't C

    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.
