passing variables

[hopesfall]

I have a function that requests an integer value, so I made another function to handle the request and I wanted to pass the integer value back to the original function. How do I print the integer value in the original function? Here is the code (Hopefully not too confusing..):

//function that I wish to print value in
void rogueBattle(){
	cout << "Please select your attack:\n";
	int rogueAttacks(int selectedAttack);
        //cout << rogueAttacks(int selectedAttack); (how do I print this?)

}

int rogueAttacks(int selectedAttack){
	cout << "1. Eviscerate \n";
	cout << "2. Kidney Shot \n";
	cout << "3. Mutilate \n";
	cout << "4. Cloak of Shadows \n";
		cin >> selectedAttack;
			switch (selectedAttack){
				case 1:
					cout << "e";
					break;
				case 2:
					cout << "ks";
					break;
				case 3:
					cout << "mut";
					break;
				case 4:
					cout << "cos";
					break;
				default :
					cout << "Please select a valid option\n";
					break;
		}
		return selectedAttack;
}

Since you are reading it with cin, you don't need selectedAttack to be a parameter:

void rogueBattle()
{
   //...
   cout << rogueAttacks();
}

int rogueAttacks()
{
   //...
   int selectedAttack;
   cin >> selectedAttack;
   //...
   return selectedAttack;
}
