Can someone help explain to me what return types actually do.

They don''t really do anything. They''re there for you to determine what happened in a function or to use outside of the function as you see fit.

Breakaway Games

the return type of as function is the type of value it returns... for example:

// in c/c++// this function returns and integer...int SomeFunc(int SomeArg)  {  return ++SomeArg;  };// so, if you want to do something with the function''s return, you need to expect that type:int SomeInt;SomeInt = SomeFunc(4);// this would cause a problem, because SomeFunc returns // an INTEGERchar SomeChar;SomeChar = SomeFunc(4); 

did that make sense?
