Could someone help me with C++ stuff??

[silvia S13]

I am trying to do something like:


if (blahblah(a))
{
...
}

This is the function:

bool blahblah(a)
{
bool return (a=5);
}

but it's giving me undeclared identifier.
What's going on?
I have #include<iostream> and using namespace std; on top, do I need something else???

I am a freshmen in college, and just learning this, and have no clue how to do it. Someone please help. Thanks a lot.

are you using bool blahaha as a global variable, cause i know in C that can give you oodles of trouble, but not sure about C++

[silvia S13]

blahblah is a function. &nbsp;This is in C++

Did you not define all those if statements in a main() function?

First of all, you are supposed to put the type when u declare the function:
e.g - blahblah(int a)

second, i think you wonna return (a==5), cuz (a=5) just assignes 5 to a and returns true. and u just do "return ..." instead of "bool return". the program alrdy knows it's bool when u declared the function.

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot, I figured it out already, it was a mistake in the book about the "bool return", it's just return. &nbsp;Also, I forgot to declare.

I am at Stevens Insititute of Technology, it's hard as hell. &nbsp;I regret coming here. &nbsp;It's a geek school. &nbsp;What bout you guys? &nbsp;Comp Sci is my major, but the classes have been easy so far, except that they don't teach and just tell you to read, and when there's a mistake in the book, it completely fucks me over like this time.
