hi, this is my prime number check program, i've posted it here b4, thanks to ur helpfull replys i managed to get it up and running how ever it gives this warning....C4715: 'isPrime' : not all control paths return a value....i cant figureout where the error is. could someone tell me how to fix that up. thanks.

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>

using namespace std;

#define TRUE 1;
#define FALSE 0;

int number;
void getNumber(int &number);
int isPrime(int number);


int main()
{
int number;    
 getNumber(number);
	 
   if (isPrime(number))
    { 
cout << "\n" << number << "is a prime number\n";
  }
 if (isPrime(number)==false)
   {   
cout << "\n" << number << "is not a prime number\n";
	
}
   return 0;
}


void getNumber(int &number)
{
   
cout << "Please enter a positive number ";
   
cin >> number;
   
if (!cin.good())
   
{
      printf("Invalid number entered\n");
  
    exit(1);
   
}

}


int isPrime(int number)
{
int count=0,count1; 


    for(count1=2;count1<number;count1++)


        {
        if (number%count1==0)
            { 
            	return FALSE;
			
             }
		{
                                if (count == 0)
		return TRUE;
		}
}

}

There's no guarantee that it will return anything because your return statements are both inside of if statements. Since you're returning true and false you could also make the function a bool rather than int.

hmm..well it works like this, but i want to know how to take the warning off. and yea i made the int isprime ,,, a bool isprime. thanks. but still i dont know how to fix the warning

>>but still i dont know how to fix the warning
Should be obvious -- put a return value at the end of the function. Once the loop ends the function is supposed to return something, but you forgot that instance. I think you can delete lines 65-68 and just return TRUE outside that loop.

thank you all for your help, it works now :).. its really great to get advice like this for a new programmer. thanks guys

Consider also that warnings often times should really be paid attention to, rather than trying to hide them ...
