The problem is not creating a function, it's what you're trying to let the function do.
The c++ function you wrote there, would have the exact same problem
as the Labview code. It's just not right, there's no way to exit the
loop. If your compiler doesn't choke on this, your program will. it
will just print the output of a+b until something kills the code. if
you have a=1 and b=2, it will print 3333333333333333333333333 and so
forth.
Also, you do the same calculation twice, which
is a waste of cpu time. you'd better use c instead or get rid of c
entirely since it's not used now. Also, you should initialize c outside
of the loop to further increase performance if you do decide to use
it.
//possibility one: keep c, quit after n times.
int function(int a, int b, int n);
{
int c;
for (int i=0; i<n; ++i)
{
c=a+b;
cout << c << endl;
}
return n;
}
//possibility two: quit after n times, get rid of c
int function(int a, int b, int n);
{
for (int i=0; i<n; ++i)
{
cout << (a+b) << endl;
}
return n;
}
Keep
in mind, it's been a while since I programmed c++, and I don't have a
compiler on this computer so there might be an error somewhere. Good luck!
