Creating a non-statndard function.

[sphinxsquare]

Hello, I have been having some difficulty finding the answer to creating your own simple function which is comprised of a few standard functions doing things in a way that is acceptable. What I am looking to do is creat a function that can be inserted into other functions that do standard things like the printf function. For example:

printf ("character:""%c\n",sc);

uses variable sc. I would like to be able to replace this with:

printf ("character:""%c\n",myfunction(sc));

so that what printf returns is the "modified" variable sc from what myfunction has done to it. So that you know, I am simply using the memset function to set the first character of sc after using a count from the strchr function.

I asked this elsewhere and have gotten very short and unhelpful and rude responses. I am new to c++ programming and I'm not in school doing homework. I would like to find some input of how to properly structure my new function so that it can be used the way I intend. The requirement that I'm looking for is to be able to use my function in the place of a variable in where the function, myfunction(sc) can be used as myfunction(other_variables) to do the same thing. I'm having difficulty finding an example of how I can do this. Any help is certainly appreciated.

Thank you.

Do you know how to create a function?

What does this do?

#include <stdio.h>
char  myfunction(char x);

int main()
{
    char sc = 'X';
    printf ("character:""%c\n",myfunction(sc));  
}

And what do you expect to happen if some source file, within your project, includes this?

#include <ctype.h>

char myfunction(char x)
{
     if (islower(x))
         return toupper(x);
     else if (isupper(x))
         return tolower(x);
     else
         return x;
}

I realise I am answering your question with questions. However, take the time to ponder my questions (or, even copy the code fragments into source files) and you will be able to answer your questions.

Do you know the difference between C and C++ (if not, google it!)? If so, you need to make up your mind on what language you want to use.
