How to return a struct from a function

Question

I'm learning c++ and my project is about queues.

I have:

struct dough {
    string code;
    int stirringTime;
};

Usually in my tasks, we use int and not struct . That is why I have problems with my delete function:

Using int:

int delQ(Queue &Q) // => return int

If I make:

struct delQ(Queue &Q) // => what do i return?

Answer 1

The type that you have defined with struct is not struct but dough .

So if you are use to work with int , but want to work with your new structure instead, just replace int with dough :

dough delQ(Queue &Q)  {
    dough retval;   // I don't know how you initialize your struct
    ....
    return retval;  
}
