计算距离:方法"必须返回一个值"？

Question

我正在尝试调用该dist()方法但是我一直收到错误,说dist()必须返回一个值.

// creating array of cities
double x[] = {21.0,12.0,15.0,3.0,7.0,30.0};
double y[] = {17.0,10.0,4.0,2.0,3.0,1.0};

// distance function - C = sqrt of A squared + B squared

double dist(int c1, int c2) {
    z = sqrt ((x[c1] - x[c2] * x[c1] - x[c2]) + (y[c1] - y[c2] * y[c1] - y[c2]));
    cout << "The result is " << z;
}

void main()
{
    int a[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
    execute(a, 0, sizeof(a)/sizeof(int));

    int  x;

    printf("Type in a number \n");
    scanf("%d", &x);

    int  y;

    printf("Type in a number \n");
    scanf("%d", &y);

    dist (x,y);
} 

Answer 1

将返回类型更改为void:

void dist(int c1, int c2) {

  z = sqrt ((x[c1] - x[c2] * x[c1] - x[c2]) +
           (y[c1] - y[c2] * y[c1] - y[c2]));
  cout << "The result is " << z;
}

或者返回函数末尾的值:

double dist(int c1, int c2) {

  z = sqrt ((x[c1] - x[c2] * x[c1] - x[c2]) +
           (y[c1] - y[c2] * y[c1] - y[c2]));
  cout << "The result is " << z;
  return z;
}
