pset 3 "control may reach the end of a non-void function" [duplicate]

Question

I know what this error means, but how do I fix it? I'm using a if... else... function, so I'm not sure how to improve upon that. Thanks!

Answer 1

Your function is declared as having a return type, but the structure of your function is not guaranteed to return anything.

For example, if you have:

bool myfunction(int x)
{
    if(x > 10)
    {
        return true;
    }
}

That function has specified that it will return something, but if x <= 10, it will reach the end of the function without returning anything.
