This is a weird phenomenon. The most probable explanation is that the function is supposed to return an int, and, so, it returned the last int value from the EAX return register. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4644860/function-returns-value-without-return-statement https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4260048/c-function-defined-as-int-but-having-no-return-statement-in-the-body-still-compi

this is correct code.. what do u want to do ? if u want to does not have any return value use this #include <iostream> using namespace std; void addNumbers(int x, int y) { int result = x + y; // return result; } int main() { // cout << addNumbers(50, 25); } Notice : of course you can not use cout on void type of function
