    i have problem in finishing my code

    Code:
    this program finds the largest multiple of 5 in a randomly generated  Vector of 20 elements and returns it as well as its index. but What  would biggest() return if none of the integers in the vector<> are  multiple of five? and how can i correct it?
    
    
    #include <iostream>
    #include <algorithm>
    #include <vector>
    #include <fstream>
    using namespace std;
    int biggest(vector<int>);
    const int k=20;
    int main()
    {
        ofstream fout("pasuxi.out");
        vector <int> v(k);
        for(int i=0; i<k; i++)
            v[i]=rand() % 71+30;
        fout<<"biggest is  "<<v[biggest(v)]
            <<".    index=  "<< biggest(v);
    }
    int biggest(vector<int> x)
    {
        int big=-1;
        int index;
        for(int i=0; i<x.size(); i++)
            if(x[i]%5==0 && x[i]>big){ 
                index=i;}
        return index;
    }

    Suggestion: learn references and/or exceptions.
    If you can't return a value that indicates "error" (which you very well could, since any number < 0 would be an invalid index, and hence could be reserved for errors), you can pass in an extra argument that would hold return information, or you can throw an exception.

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.
