Question

C++ help. I have found 2 errors but need help finding 3 more.

// Overloading.cpp : This code contains five errors before it will work as desired. Find those errors,
// document a description of the errors and their fix, and fix them. Try using the debugger to
// step through the program to find the bugs. As you step through, take notice of the information
// you can see.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int add(int, int);
double add(double, double);

int main()
{
   int a, b, x;
   float c, d, y;

   cout << "Enter two integers ";
   cin >> a >> b;
   x = add(a, c);//error
   cout << "Sum of integers: " << x << endl;

   cout << "Enter two doubles ";
   cin >> c >> d;
   y = add(a, b);
   cout << "Sum of doubles: " << y << endl;

   return 0;
}

int add(int a, int b)
{
   int sum;
   sum = a + b;
}

double add(double a, double b)
{
   double sum;
   sum = a + b;
   return sum
}//error

//debugger has shown me 2 of them. The error code is:

Severity   Code   Description   Project   File   Line   Suppression State
Error (active)   E0308   more than one instance of overloaded function "add" matches the argument list:   IT312_Overloading c: #### 23  
Error (active)   E0065   expected a ';'   IT312_Overloading c:#### 45  

Explanation / Answer

The following C++ code with comments list out the errors present in the given code:

//#include "stdafx.h" //error 1
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int add(int, int);
double add(double, double);
int main()
{
int a, b, x;
float c, d, y;
cout << "Enter two integers ";
cin >> a >> b;
x = add(a, c);//error: c can't be send before initialization and c is initialized as float as well
cout << "Sum of integers: " << x << endl;
cout << "Enter two doubles ";
cin >> c >> d;
y = add(a, b); //error: it should be c and d rather than a and b
cout << "Sum of doubles: " << y << endl;
return 0;
}
int add(int a, int b)
{
int sum;
sum = a + b; //error: this function should return sum
}
double add(double a, double b)
{
double sum;
sum = a + b;
return sum   //error: termination ';' is required
}//error

The following code is error free, and it is performing the required operation:

//#include "stdafx.h" //error 1
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int add(int, int);
double add(double, double);
int main()
{
int a, b, x;
float c, d, y;
cout << "Enter two integers ";
cin >> a >> b;
x = add(a, b);//error: c can't be send before initialization and c is initialized as float as well
cout << "Sum of integers: " << x << endl;
cout << "Enter two doubles ";
cin >> c >> d;
y = add(c, d); //error: it should be c and d rather than a and b
cout << "Sum of doubles: " << y << endl;
return 0;
}
int add(int a, int b)
{
int sum;
sum = a + b; //error: this function should return sum
return sum;
}
double add(double a, double b)
{
double sum;
sum = a + b;
return sum;   //error: termination ';' is required
}//error

Input:

1 2

1.2 2.3

Output:

Enter two integers
Sum of integers: 3
Enter two doubles
Sum of doubles: 3.5
