Thread: Simple Variable Problem

I'm very very new at programming, and I am attempting to make a simple (I thought) program that asks the user the current year, their age. It would then output the year in which they were born. +/- a year, depending on when the birthday falls... But I'll fix that later.

The issue is, BirthYear *always* returns 23. I can't figure it out. I suspect I'm doing something wrong here:

Code:

int BirthYear = CurrentYear - Age;

But here is the complete program in case that is not the problem.

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int AskWhatYear ();
int AskAge ();



int main()
{    

  int Age;
  int CurrentYear;

  AskAge();
  AskWhatYear();

  int BirthYear = CurrentYear - Age;

  cin.get();

  cout<<"\nYou were probably born in "<< BirthYear;
  cin.get();       
}




int AskAge() // Asks the users age.
{
  int Age;

  cout<<"\nPlease enter your age: ";
  cin>> Age;
  cin.ignore();
  return Age;
}

int AskWhatYear() // Asks the user what year it is.
{
  int CurrentYear;

  cout<<"\nPlease enter the current year: ";
  cin>> CurrentYear;
  cin.ignore();
  return CurrentYear;
}

Thanks in advance!

I'm sure there are other noob mistakes in there that work, but aren't the ideal way to do it. I'm open to al suggestions
