Answer 40

true

Question 41

void total(int value1, value2, value3)
{
return value1 + value2 + value3;
}

Answer 41

The data type of value2 and value3 must be defined.
The function is declared void but returns a value.

Question 42

double average(int value1, int value2, int value3)
{ double average;
average = value1 + value2 + value3 / 3;
}

Answer 42

The assignment statement should read:
average = (value1 + value2 + value3) / 3.0;

Question 43

void area(int length = 30, int width)
{ return length * width
}

Answer 43

width should have a default argument value
The function is defined void but returns a value

Question 44

void getValue(int value&)
{ cout &laquo_space;“Enter a value: “;
cin&raquo_space; value&;
}

Answer 44

The parameter should be defined as:
int &value
The cin statement should read:
cin&raquo_space; value;

Question 45

(Overloaded functions)
int getValue()
{ int inputValue;
cout &laquo_space;“Enter an integer: “;
cin&raquo_space; inputValue;
return inputValue;
}
double getValue()
{ double inputValue;
cout &laquo_space;“Enter a floating-point number: “;
cin&raquo_space; inputValue;
return inputValue;
}

Answer 45

The functions must have different parameter lists.
