Question

I’m having a very odd problem with my program and am hoping you can help. I have a really basic pair of functions. One calls the other and requires a return int.

For reasons completely unknown reasons the first function fails to print out match even though the conditions are true if the return value to a variable is assigned to a variable ie:

Function 1:

int function1(int posX, int posY){
    int x=1;
    int y=1;
    if (posX == X && posY == Y){        
        printf("Match");
        return 1;
    }
}

Function 2:

int i = function1(1, 1);

Does work:

function1(1,1);

So to clarify, I’m saying that its working if I get the message “Match”.

Answer 1

(posX == X && posY == Y)

C/C++ is case-sensitive. What do “X” and “Y” stand for?

Maybe try changing them to lowercase?

Also, always try to return a value even if there is NOT a match (the function function1 is supposed to be returning an int value, right?)

Code : (corrected)

int function1(int posX, int posY){
    int x=1;
    int y=1;

    if ((posX == x) && (posY == y)){     
        printf("Match");
        return 1;
    }

    return 0;
}
