(C++) return type

The return type of a function denotes the data type it returns.

For example, the function below, ToInt, returns an int, so its return type is int.


#include <string>



///ToInt converts a std::string to an integer

///From http://www.richelbilderbeek.nl/CppToInt.htm

const int ToInt(const std::string& s)

{

  return std::atoi(s.c_str());

}
