What can I do to make code look simplier

[dadam88]

If I use classes, will this reduce my lines of code?
Is this a good way?
Should I use a header for certain functions?
Thanks

Just wondering, thanks

Please go to C forum. The code you presented is not in Java.

This is the c++ forum....Your in the wrong forum, lol

Does this program run correctly? Lines 57-75 looks like it is an infinite loop. On lines 97 and 98 you have 2 return statements. You can only return one thing from a function. This is not to say you cant have a multiple returns in a function, you just cant have it like you have it.

int foo()
{
    int bar = 5;
    int temp = 6;
    return bar;
    return temp;  // this is incorrect.
}

int foo()
{
    int bar = 5;
    int temp = 8;
    if (bar > temp)
        return temp;
    return bar; // this is fine since the first return is in a conditional
}

thanks for that tidbit, the code runs fine, I dont even think I need the returns, ive added a lot more stuff too
