iOS Objective-C Basics (Retired) Functional Programming in C Functions

Scope..function

Implement a function named "addTwo" that returns the sum of two floats. The function will accept two float numbers as arguments. It should add the two arguments together, and return the result. (No need to write the main function. Just write out the implementation for the addTwo function.)

that's the question and I wrote void addTwo() { float sum1 = 23.24; float sum2 = 234.53; float sum; sum = sum1 + sum2; printf("%f \n", sum); } as an answer. and I really don't know why I got this question wrong...

Hi Taeho,

There are two issues with your solution:

  1. You're not accepting arguments (you're just hardcoding the numbers).

  2. You're not returning the result.

The general structure you want is something like this:

returnType addTwo(type a, type b)
{
    return a + b;
}

In this case, we're dealing with a type of float.
