object type method return

[bonita]

hi guys i am new to c++ and trying to learn. for instance. i have a struct and method.I am trying to learn what i can do with the method if i define the return type as struct type.

    struct S
    {
         int age;
         string name;
    };
    S method()
    {
    //what i can do in here. with the Struct. I mean can i reach members of the struct. etc
    }

method() is not a method. it is a freestanding function which returns S by value.
You can create S variable and return it like that:

S method()
{
    S ret;
    ret.age = 4;
    ret.name = "Fido";
    return ret; 
}
//or even
S method()
{
    return {4, "Fido"};
}
