Void doesn't return a value for a function. Then where does the need of such functions come that doesn't return a value?

Answer 1

For example if you want to print something on the screen you don't need that method to return something.
Or if you want to add an element to a list with the method, you don't need anything to be returned either.

Answer 2

Yeap
You will have to either change void to int or whatever, or to remove "return"

Answer 3

yes when it's void don't return anything

Answer 4

Ok and if we try to return a value in such case, will that give error?

Answer 5

Got it! Thanks :)

Answer 6

not 100% certain but I think that printing an integer to the screen in a void function might lead to an error. However, in my code, I was able to print an integer. My example might e different than what you are referring to.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void hope (int y)
{
cout<< y;
}

int main ()
{

hope(89);
return 0;
}

Jaya, I appreciate your question. It's also confused me.

Answer 7

Yes, it will give an error. "void" simply means "that doesn't return any value". If you return any value in void function then it will definitely give an error
