returning values to main

[jonmackey22]

I am working on this program below. The problem I am having is trying to return totalDays to the main. In the numOfDays() function there is a for loop that adds the totalDays (totalDays = totalDays + days). I have just been getting errors in returning the correct amount of totalDays to the main from the numOfDays function.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int numOfEmployees();

int numOfDays(int);

int main()
{ 
 int totalDays = 0;
 int employNum;
 int amountSick;

 employNum = numOfEmployees();
 amountSick = numOfDays(employNum);
 
 cout << amountSick;
}

	int numOfEmployees()
	{
		int employees;
		
		cout << "How many employees? ";
		cin  >> employees;
		
		return employees; 
	}
	
	int numOfDays(int employees)
	{   
	    int num = 1;
	    int totalDays = 0;
		
        for (employees; employees > 0; employees --)
         {  
            int days;
            int totalDays = 0;
            
         	cout << "How many days has employee " <<num<< " been sick? ";
         	cin >> days;
         	
         	totalDays = totalDays + days;
         	num ++;
         }
         
         return totalDays;
	}

You have TWO int totalDays.
Remove the one inside the for loop: it's aliasing the other one.
