Thread: Help on a simple functions program

It seems that my code is way off.

I get no errors from this code, but the output is...er...VERY interesting.

Code:

//Cube volume calculating program v2.0
//calculates the difference between two 3-dimensional objects

typedef unsigned short USHORT;

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

USHORT areaOfObj1(USHORT length, USHORT width, USHORT height);
USHORT areaOfObj2(USHORT length, USHORT width, USHORT height);

int main() {
    cout << "\t\tCube Volume Calculating Program v2.0" << endl;
    cout << "\t   Calculates the difference between the volume" << endl; 
    cout << "\t       of one cube to the volume of another." << endl;
    
    USHORT Obj1length;
    USHORT Obj1width;
    USHORT Obj1height;
    USHORT Obj2length;
    USHORT Obj2height;
    USHORT Obj2width;
    USHORT Obj1volume;
    USHORT Obj2volume;
    USHORT Obj1and2dif;
    
    Obj1volume = areaOfObj1(Obj1length, Obj1width, Obj1height);
    Obj2volume = areaOfObj2(Obj2length, Obj2width, Obj2height);    
    
    cout << "\n\tWhat is the length of the first cube?" << endl;
    cin >> Obj1length;
    cout << "\n\tWhat is the width of the first cube?" << endl;
    cin >> Obj1width;
    cout << "\n\tWhat is the height of the first cube?" << endl;
    cin >> Obj1height;
    cout << "\n\tWhat is the length of the second cube?" << endl;
    cin >> Obj2length;
    cout << "\n\tWhat is the width of the second cube?" << endl;
    cin >> Obj2width;
    cout << "\n\tWhat is the height of the second cube?" << endl;
    cin >> Obj2height;
    
    Obj1and2dif = Obj1volume - Obj2volume;
    cin.get();
    
    cout << "The volume of the first cube is " << Obj1volume << endl;
    cout << "The volume of the second cube is " << Obj2volume << endl;
    cout << "\nThe difference between the volume of" << endl;
    cout << "the first cube and the second cube is: " << Obj1and2dif << endl;
    
    cin.get();
    return 0; 
}

USHORT areaOfObj1 (USHORT l, USHORT w, USHORT h) {
       cin.ignore();
       cin.get();
       return l * w * h;
};

USHORT areaOfObj2 (USHORT l, USHORT w, USHORT h) {
       cin.ignore();
       cin.get();
       return l * w * h;
};

I'm making logical errors. Please help me! Thanks!
