return independant variables in functions

[pceluevmapthy]

Hi I'm trying to create a function that returns two values independent of each other, like

float inputInfo (int confNum)
{
return (weight, heightSqd);
}

How would I assign each return value to its own variable in main()?

The code you've written is the same as:

float inputInfo(int confNum)
{
     return heightSqd ;
}

consult your favorite reference on the comma operator.


You can only return one object/variable from a function.

You can get around that using something like:

struct float_2
{
     float first ;
     float second ;

     float_2(float f, float s) : first(f), second(s) {}
};

float_2 inputInfo( int confNum )
{
     return float_2(weight, heightSqd) ;
}
