Thread: void function in c -> c++

I have some code which looks like the following:

Code:

void x(int a) {

do something with a

}

void y(int b) {

return x(50);

}

How do I port to c++?

Wait, I'm not allowed to use void functions in C++? Oh no my life, ruined!

Funny guy ey.....I urgently need help on this.
So don't laugh about silly stuff, give some help instead.

And if your'e so geeky that you can't find anything else to laugh about get a life.

I'm just curious if this is the same thing as doing:

Code:

void x(int a) {

do some stuff....

}

void y(int b) {

x(50);

}

In regards to your original question:

Code:

/////////
// Test suite
//////////
void x(int a) 
{ 
	a += 50; 
}
void y(int b) 
{ 
	return x(50); 
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	y(10);
}

Let's see, I build the project and woops!

Yeah, you can't return a value, it's a void function specifying it won't return a value. However, from your updated post:

Code:

/////////
// Test suite
//////////
void x(int a) 
{ 
	a += 50; 
}
void y(int b) 
{ 
	x(50); 
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	y(10);
	return 0;
}

Works fine. No errors there. Here's a short thing about functional programming and void: http://www.mtsu.edu/~csci117/manual/lab8/lab8.html and another small reference: http://www.fredosaurus.com/notes-cpp...uncstruct.html and all of this is perfectly acceptable in both C and C++. We're just elitist ..........es around here, sorry. A quick google search on void functions does solve our issue quite nicely however!

yes but this is why I ask....it's a c snippet which I would like to port to c++
could I just replace the return x(50) with x(50) and that will do the same?

are you like not very bright or?

>> could I just replace the return x(50) with x(50) and that will do the same?

The same? No of course not. Then you are not returning a value anymore. But seeing as you can't do that kind of stuff in 'void' functions in the first place, it doesn't matter. So you could say yes it is the same, but I mean, all it seems you want to do is call the function, you can not return a value. That's just how void functions work, and why they exist. Also try reading the articles I provided in my above post. I picked them out because I felt they would answer many of the questions you might have, including the one you just asked. You also might like reading this more general howstuffworks article on C functions:

It does a good job at bringing the this important concept of programming down to basic terms, including 'void' functions.

seems like ahluka has to much time on his hands.....why not do something constructive with it...like go dr_wn himself or something like that

The thought of low level programming excites me. <- hmmm I wonder if you even know what low level is

I guess that would be in the eye of the beholder or in this case the programmer.....so therefore I think your'e wrong.

From a c,c++,java programmers view -> assembly is LLL

From an assembly programmers view -> c,c++,java are typically HLL.

From an machine code programmer (if any such exist nowadays) -> assembly is HLL

This gives a contradiction in terms what machinecode and assembly programmers think they are dealing with.

I'm currently also involved in assembly programming of the ARM processor.
Mainly working with srecords.
