C++ SOLVED PROBLEMS FOR UQF 7A

EXERCISE 4

1. When do you use the keyword return while defining a function? When do you not
use the keyword return when defining a function?

ANSWER:
I use the keyword return while defining the function to return the value of the called
function to the caller function and I did not use it when there is no need of the value
to be returned to the caller function.

2. Write a program in C++ that prints out the larger of two numbers entered from the
keyboard. Use a function to do the actual comparison of the two numbers. Pass the
two numbers to the function as arguments, and have the function return the answer.

PROGRAM
#include<iostream.h>
float compare(float num1,float num2);
main()
{
float a,b,large;
cout<<"Enter value of a"<<endl;
cin>>a;
cout<<"Enter value of b"<<endl;
cin>>b;
large=compare(a,b);
}
float compare(float num1,float num2)
{
if(num1>num2)
cout<<"a is large";
else if(num2>num1)
cout<<"b is large";
else
cout<<"a and b are equal";
}
