Textbook error?? Help??

Question

This is some stuff I am working on for a practice assignment I have for the first week of my class, the syntax is done in C++, fyi.

3.Consider the function headings:

void funcOne(int alpha[], int size);
Int funcSum(int x, int y);
Void funcTwo(const int alpha[],int beta[]);

And the declarations

Int list[50];
Int Alist[60];
Int num;

Write C++ satments that do the following:

a.Call the function funcOne with the actual parameters, list and 50 respectively.
funcOne(alpha[],size,list[]);

b.Print the value returned by the function funcSum with the actual parameters, 50 and the fourth component of list, respectively.

Ok, now this is what I have a question on, the words on question b..."Print the value returned by the function funcSum", the last time I checked, you can return any value you want as long as it was the same data type AS the function, I could return 0,1,x,y, heck I could return 666 if I wanted, but that is beyond the question. Is it just me...or

or is not enough information proviced to answer this question, since the book does not TELL me the value that is supposed to be returned within the function.

Answer 1

The question is poorly worded. Chances are, funcSum returns the sum of two values x and y. If you need an answer, x+y would be the best guess, but like you said, there is no real way of knowing.
