How can I make a new function and pass a var. through it?

Hi Rykon

They called Methods Rykon.

I am not sure how you mean make a function?
Can you tell me what it is you need to do?
You need a basic structure of a method and how to call it?

My question is for this type of example in C++

Int myfunction(int hi)
{
int j;
j = hi + 2;

Return hi;
}
then calling it
int h = 4;
myfunction(h)

I can not get the "myfunction(h)" to pass into "myfunction9int (hi)"

keke, in the example you provided, you return the same variable you've put as parameter, unmodifyed.
Anyway I've, a little bit, forgotten c++, try calling myfunction from other function. Is myfunction in the global(is global function) namespace?

Furthermore, you should try addressing your question in the C++ Forum

First I was doing a compare to c++ and the code was psuedo. You where no help to my question, read the first post.

Sorry, thought, I didn't see the comparement.

That is ok, I was giving an example in c++ and I was wonder the C# equiv. Might I add I need it to work with a static and an object.

I'll try to give an example of what I think you are trying to express (hopefully, if we are both lucky, i will not be wrong ;))
using System;
namespace MyTestSpace
// namespace
{
// simple SHOWOFF class
public class WhatACalculator
// class
{
// simple static method
public static int Add(int fNum,int lNum)
// method
{
// add the two values and return the result;
return fNum+lNum;
} // end method
static void Main()
{ // method
int myAge=18; // yes i'm 18
int myGirlFriendsAge=16; // no, my girlfriend's is not 16
int myMomsAge= // because my mom's age is 35
// calling the static add method, we don't need an object instance forIt
WhatACalculator.Add(myAge,myGirlFriendsAge);
// display the result from the Add method usage;
Console.WriteLine(myMomsAge.ToString());
} // end method
} // end class
} // end namespace

There is one problem with this code, it is not that same (to my knowlege) as one needed for a Windows app, not a console app. The main diff that I can find is the passing through an object(i.e. no static). Could you be any help on that?

:
First - yes this is console demo app.
Second what help exactly do you need, i'm confused now :)

Ok, I can make a console app and get methods to work, but when I try the same tactic on a windows app it will not work. The only difference that I can see it that I am trying to pass from a object(i.e. a method for a button) to a static method. Any idea of what I am talking about now?

Ok.

Look every thing is a class right and when you instantiate a class it becomes an object.
When you make a method static you use the class name and the dot notation to indicate witch static method to use like so:

public class MyClass
{
static string MakeComent()
{
return Hi;
}
}

public class MyDriver
{
public MyDriver()
{

}

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.Out(MyClass.MakeComment());
}
}

PS. I am using a console app for now.

Now when you make the class an object things change.
Your first class needs a constructor first of all.

public class MyClass
{
public MyClass()
{
}

public string MakeComent()
{
return Hi;
}
}

The Driver class Main Instantiates the Class and Calls the method through the Object:

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
MyClass myNewObject = new MyClass();
Console.Out(myNewObject.MakeComment());
}

Now when you use a Windows app, one has to be careful not to get mixed up between the driver and your class. The code window presented to you at start-up is the driver and I suggest you add your custom class to the project You should follow the same approach in the console app by the way

You will then have a choice between using a global instance and a local instance in the event handler methods.

In the former you would instantiate the object in the Main method while you would need a global reference together with the other form object references

Using MyClass;
public class form1
{
private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;
private MyClass myNewObject = null;

public static void Main()
{
myNewObject = new MyClass();
}
}

In the Later one would just instantiate a local instance inside the EventHandler method:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MyClass myNewObject = new MyClass();
MessageBox.show(MyNewObject.MakeComment());
}

When you want to pass parameters:

private string MyMethod(int times)
{
return Its the + times.ToString() + th Time;
}

public static void Main()
{
for(int I; I < 9; I++)
{
Console.Out(MyNewObject.MyMethod(I));
}
}

PS non of my code has been tested, but you will be able to see what to do.
Ask if you still dont understand.
