To do: Doing some arithmetic operations in demonstrating the C++ function that receive 2 floats and return a float

To show: How to create and use a user defined function in C++ programming which receive floats and return a float

// user defined function and header file. A very simple arithmetic functions

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// function prototype

float AddNum(float, float);

void main(void)

{

// global (to this file) scope variables

float p, q, r;

// prompt for user input

cout<<"Enter two numbers separated by a space: "<<endl>>p>>q;

// function call

r = AddNum(p, q);

// display the result

cout<<"Addition: "<<p <<" + "<<q<<" = "<<r<<endl;

}

// function definition

float AddNum(float p, float q)

{

return (p + q);

}

Output example:

Enter two numbers separated by a space:

20 13

Addition: 20 + 13 = 33
