Never heard about that function.

I think you just made it up;
maybe its a function he found in a tutorial. In that case, killadude, you have to define it first.

in my book "teach yourself c++ in 21 days"
it uses addit like this
#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
int iNum1;
int iNum2;
int iResult;

iResult = AddIt(iNum1, iNum2)

cout<<"The result is: \n";
cout<< iResult;
cout<<"\n";
}

Result = Num1 + Num2;

thanks fruny- but i already know that, i was just askin if that function really worked or was it just lack of knowlege of the author of the book, but thanks for your post

Frankly, I don''t trust those "learn in days" books. I find it''s more of a gimic to sell the book, and any book that needs a gimicky name is a suspicious one (see also Books for Dummies).

To answer your question, no, it's not a function. The author probably defined it somewhere in a previous chapter.

if for some reason it is an oversight (if it is i would put down the book and look elsewhere to learn c++ =) ) it's probably defined like this:

    #include <iostream.h>int AddIt(int num1, int num2){    return num1 + num2;}void main(){    int iNum1;    int iNum2;    int iResult;    iResult = AddIt(iNum1, iNum2)    cout<<"The result is: \n";    cout<< iResult;    cout<<"\n";}

Well, it most certainly must be a function (or a function-like macro), otherwise any source file referencing it wouldn''t compile without at least a warning. But, of course it''s not a standard function.
