a function that performs 3 task

[chevon1920]

I need assistance writing a function that will perform three tasks. The first thing it must do is find the average of a set of data. Then it needs to use a pointer to increment the number above the average. Thanks all fine, but the last thing it has to do is print out the array of structures that have a value larger than average.

How am I suppose to have a function return a double and print the array of structions at the same time?

Anyone ever done this before?

Thanks

Hi

To return a double , you just have to have a function with return type 'double'
The receiver (a variable) of of the returned value must of 'double' type.

To print an array of structure (assume it contains data). You need a loop over each structure and display contents of each structure by referring to structure members.

Hope it helps

Hi, thanks for your reply. I understand how to do that, the problem I'm having is normally when you have a function print something it returns nothing. How can i write a function that returns a double and it prints in the main when its called, at the same time? Is that even possible? I would assume that when I call the function it will just print the double instead of printing out what I needed it to.
Thanks for any help!

You can print inside your function and have it return a value.
When the output is displayed, nobody can tell whether the output was done from your function or from the main function.
