User-Defined Function - part 2

Apr 4th, 2007

Hey everyone, this is a big one.

The question has asked that I define functions and then write the function main to test the functions I wrote. I keep getting the following error at my first cout in main:

error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'void' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

I'm not sure what this is saying.
In addition, I need help with defining two of my functions and writing code to test them. They are as follows:

1. Write the definition of the function nextChar that sets the value of z to the next character stored in z.

2. Write the definition of the function funcOne that prompts the user to input a number. The function then changes the value of x to 2 times the old value of x plus the value of y minus the value entered by the user.

Now, with #2 I'm pretty sure I have the function defined right, though I don't know how to test it. #1 though, I have no clue how to define that function, though I did attempt it =/.

Could someone look through my code, and let me know if they notice any huge mistakes? This is our second chapter on user-defined functions, so I'm still learning about call by reference and whatnot. I have commented my code minimaly to assist you in finding the parts I'm having a tough time with.

Thanks guys! :mrgreen:

It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

Re: User-Defined Function - part 2

Apr 4th, 2007

Don't have time to check over the rest of the code, but I can tell you what is wrong here:

 Help with Code Tags 
 cplusplus Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
cout << initialize( x , y , z ) << endl ;            //error is here
cout << initialize( x , y , z ) << endl ;            //error is here

initialize returns nothing, so cout has nothing to print. If you want to initalize the variables, try calling the function in a separate line instead of mixing it in with the cout call.

Now, with #2 I'm pretty sure I have the function defined right, though I don't know how to test it.

With this function you are squaring x instead of doubling it (ie use 2*x instead of x*x). To test it, simply do some simple math in your head, using different values of x and y....then implement that in your code...if your code gives you different answers, then, unless you did the math wrong yourself, you know there is a problem with your code...

As for part 1, I believe the instructions are referring to c-strings...how much do you know about c-strings?

Ok, I've modified my code, and am getting an error that says:

error C2563: mismatch in formal parameter list

This is at the same line with the comment //error is here

I've called the void functions outside of a cout, and have put cout statements inside of the function to test them. What am I doing wrong? =/

initialize( x , y , z ) << endl ;
You can't do this in C++ esp when initialize doesn't return anything and even if it did, you aren't specifying the stream to which the output should be redirected.

I don't think so. Although, I don't know what the instructions mean, either.

Can you give us an example of the operation?
