Question about function calling

Lets say, you had a variable and you assigned a function to it, like so:

Code:

---

int variable = function(argument);

---

If function(argument) returned a value (say int) and printed out a statement, would the statement be printed out if the function was assigned to a variable like the example?

-Thanks for your time

Try it and see

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int function(int a)
{
 
  std::cout<<a<<std::endl;
  return a + 3;
 
}

int main(void)
{
 
  int mainA = function(10);
  std::cout<<mainA<<std::endl;
  std::cin.get();
 
  return 0;
 
}

Yes, I see now. Thanks.

Its always good to try things out and tinker with them to see what happens. You learn alot that way :). To explain what is happing you are still calling the function but the the varaible you create is only set to the return value of that function.
