Recall the function cube():
int cube(int number)
{
int value;
value = number * number * number;
return value;
}
Example calls:
int i;
float f;
i = cube(2); // i is 8
f = cube(2.5f); // f is 8.0
We need another function so we can cube floats:
float floatCube(float number)
{
float value;
value = number * number * number;
return value;
}
Example calls:
i = cube(2); // i is 8
f = floatCube(2.5f); // f is 15.625f
This can quickly become unmanageable as we write functions to handle other types: doubleCube(), longCube(), charCube() ...
