Help with function!

[Loki55]

Probably easy for you guys but I'm not sure if I have this right!!

Original function

int testing (int c, float d)
{

  if (d > c) 
   return (int) d;
      else
        return c;

}

What I need to do:
The function returns the decimal value resulting from dividing d by c if d > c and returns the decimal resulting from dividing c by d if c is greater or equal to d

My attempt plus the reset of the program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int testing (int a, float b);
 
int main()
{
int x;
float y;
cout << "Enter an integer and a decimal number"<< endl;
cin >> x >> y;
cout << testing (x, y);

system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
 
  return 0;
}
 
int testing (int c, float d)
{

if (d > c) 
return (float) (d/c);
else
return (float) (c/d);

}

It doesn't seem to be doing anything different I don't get any decimals printed!!

Your function is declared to return an int. As a result, the decimal portion of the return value is being truncated.

Is this correct seems better to me.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
float testing (float a, float b);
 
int main()
{
float x;
float y;
cout << "Enter an integer and a decimal number"<< endl;
cin >> x >> y;
cout << testing (x, y);

system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
 
  return 0;
}
 
float testing (float c, float d)
{

if (d > c) 
return (float) (d/c);
else
return (float) (c/d);

}

There are some minor formatting issues that you may want to correct (indentation).

Also, this section:

system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
   return 0;
}

is redundant. The statement return EXIT_SUCCESS; is the same statement as return 0; .

Here your function has integer as a return type. so it will not return any decimal value if you want decimal value than mention its return type in float or double.
