C++ Leap Year program with "variable is being used without being initialized" and always return true problem

When I run it, it shows "Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'carryOn' is being used without being initialized."


And I found out no matter I input a leap year or not a leap year, it always return it "is a leap year" I'm new to C++ so please help me


#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){


return(true);


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


return(false);


}


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 "variable is being used without being initialized" and always return true problem
I think there are two problems in your code.





First, the warning is talking about this function


char moreData(){


char carryOn;


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


return carryOn;


}


Notice your 'carryOn' variable is return without being assigned anything. I guess you intend to have something like this?


char moreData(){


char carryOn;


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


cin %26gt;%26gt; carryOn;


return carryOn;


}





Your check for leap year is also wrong. Try this (I haven't tested it though).


bool isLeap(int year){


if ( year % 4 == 0 %26amp;%26amp; ( year % 100 != 0 || year % 400 == 0 ) ) {


return true;


}


else {


return false;


}


}
Reply:hi,


i did some modification in this program..just verify.


#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");


return 0;


}





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)


return(true);





else if (year%400==0)


return(true);


}


else


return false;


}





char moreData(){


char carryOn;


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


cin%26gt;%26gt;carryOn;


return carryOn;


}
