Can you explain a "show function above the main"

Didnt want to clog up forms with easy questions I keep having..

// Details

I made a header file and .cpp file to go with that, then i made my program file,


its outputting gross pay and income tax pay

this is my main() code
Code
int main(){
weeklyEmp emp("Lucas", 40, 10 , 3, "M");
cout.width(9); cout << emp.grossPay();
cout.width(13); cout << emp.incomeTax() << endl;
emp.set_rate(11.50);
cout.width(9); cout << emp.grossPay();
cout.width(13); cout << emp.incomeTax() << endl;
emp.set_hours(42);
cout.width(9); cout << emp.grossPay();
cout.width(13); cout << emp.incomeTax() << endl;
}



and i have to make a show function above the main.

would that be making the output look like




originally sent to blind, he told me to post it up

just make a void showFunction(); member of the weeklyemp class that will do your cout statements

if you want the function to be in main.cpp pass the instance of your class to the function and do the cout stuff

so like

Just don't name it showFunction. Just name it show. Otherwise you have a showFunction function. Silly.

I like to show functions while I show functions inside a function which shows itself.

I need to take a minute and reflect on how deep that statement was.

I love you.

guess I assumed he could come up with an appropriate name

Haha the directions say not to use a void function i forgot to put that lol

Should drop that class if you can't figure out how to change a function return type.
