Oh I see. In your code it gives good results, but you have to get paranthesis good. Use: (-b + sqrt(...)) / (...). If you wont put () around first expression the divide will evaluate first and then add -b to it.

Return isn't used for printing out the result on console. It just returns value, so you can assign it to variable or pass as an argument.

that's right, but i could output it directly.. int age(int age) { return age; } int main() { cout<<"i am " <<age(1000) <<" years old"<<endl; return 0; }

you can do int val = age(1000); cout<<"age: "<<val; return only assign a value to variable or printing this value that return
