Thread: specific task function

And what part of it are you having trouble with? What you have to do couldn't be worded more clearly. Post your best effort.

Honestly, I do't know at all how to do this. It's a problem related to a chapter, but nothing is explained about it in that chapter. Don't really get the pass in/ pass out.

Here it goes... that's what I got.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

// Function Prototypes
void get_data(void);
void process_data(void);
void show_results(void);
void pause(void);

// Variables

double  side_1;
double  answer;

//******************************************************
// main
//******************************************************

int main(void)
  {
  get_data();
  process_data();
  show_results();

  return 0;
  }

  // Input 
void get_data(void)
  {
  cout << "\nEnter the total side_1 in the hexagon --->: ";
  cin >> side_1;


  return;
  }
  // Process
void process_data(void)
  {
  answer = side_1 * 3 * sqrt(0.75);
  
  return;
  }
 
//Output
	
void show_results(void)
  {
  cout << "\n";
  cout << "\nThe area of the hexagon is---->: ";
  cout << answer;
pause();
  return;
  }

//******************************************************
// pause
//******************************************************

void pause(void)
  {
  cout << "\n\n";
  system("PAUSE");
  cout << "\n\n";
  return;
  }

//******************************************************
// End of Program
//******************************************************

But that can't be it. It's supposed to be a short answer.

It is a short answer. Don't count all the cin/cout fluff.

Oh, and "pass in" and "pass out" means parameters and return values, not global variables.
