return statement acting crazeeey!

hey guys. this segement of code is not working properly as it should. even after executing return statement, it goes on to the rest of the part of the code and executed even executes conditional statements that isn't true.

I yanked and pasted your code into my function and it works. What specifically is your problem? What output are you getting?

Here is what worked for me

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int x = 0;

bool funct()
{
    int a=x%2;
    ++x; ///increase value of x for next time
    if(a==1)
    {
        cout<<"X_turn"<<endl;
        return true;
        cout << "shouldn't be here\n";
    }

    else if(a==0)
    {
        cout<<"O_turn"<<endl;
        return false;
    }
    else
    {
        cout<<"%% operator not working properly";///shouldn’t hit this
    }
}
int main()
{
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        funct();
    return 0;
}


My output:
O_turn
X_turn
O_turn
X_turn
O_turn
X_turn
O_turn
X_turn
O_turn
X_turn

Could you post your:

 
 
void get_input();


function definition?

never mind, solved it. the error was indeed in the get_input() function.
