C++ Leap Year Program with error C2659: '=' : function as left operand problem?

Okay here is my program, it has only two compiles errors: C2659: '=' : function as left operand. I'm new to C++ and get confused by this error, can anyone correct my program? Thanks. Here is the program:





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


#include %26lt;cstdlib%26gt;





using namespace std;





int getYear();


bool isLeap(int year);


char moreData();





int main()


{


int year;


char carryOn='y';





while(carryOn=='y'||carryOn=='Y'){


year=getYear();





if(isLeap(year)){


cout%26lt;%26lt;" is a leap year\n";


}else{


cout%26lt;%26lt;" is not a leap year\n";


}


carryOn=moreData();


}


system("pause");


}


int getYear(){


int year;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Enter a year: ";


cin%26gt;%26gt;year;


return year;


}


bool isLeap(int year){


if(year%4==0){


if (year%100!=0){


isLeap=true;


}else if (year%400==0){


isLeap=true;


}


//return isLeap;


}}


char moreData(){


char carryOn;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Do you want to enter more data? (y/n) ";


return carryOn;


}

C++ Leap Year Program with error C2659: '=' : function as left operand problem?
in your isLeap() function.. you are assigning isLeap=true.... which cannot be done.. because isLeap is the pointer to the function isLeap().. dont worry if you dont understand that..... But you can use the statement


return (true);


instead of


isLeap=true;


and use the statement


return(false);


at the end of the isLeap function just before the closing flower brace.. that will make the program work...
Reply:I think your





isLeap=true;





statements need to be





return true;





instead!
