If you need your function to pass back multiple outputs, you need to have them as arguments to the function, and pass them by reference.

EDIT: Also, please use code tags when posting code, to make it readable:

I suspect that you don't need to return the account number. The caller can get it from info easily enough:

int index = check_acc_number(count);
if (index >= 0 {
    cout << "account number " << info[index].acc_no << '\n';
else {
    cout << "no account found\n";
}

Whe can send more than just an integer, think of object created from struct or class containing multiple data.
