newbie question in c++ about integers?

[Roger]

So if I have a function named numbers (),
it returns an value of 8 in the main ().
how do I store this number in an integer?

i.e

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int numbers () {
int value = 8;
return value;
}

int main () {
numbers();
*I want to store the returned value in another integer*
return EXIT_SUCESS;
}

 

[hockeyking_21]

int main ()
{

int returnedNumber;
returnedNumber = numbers();

*I want to store the returned value in another integer*
return EXIT_SUCESS;
}

 

[TSK]

int main () {
int x;
x=numbers();
cout<<x;
return EXIT_SUCESS;
}
