Writing a function assistance

[jeckel7234]

I'm working a hw assignment and was hoping someone could take a look at it and tell me if I'm on the right path before I submit it. Thanks

Write a function lessThan that returns a value of true when the counter object it's applied to has a smaller value than its counter argument.


This is what I have:

int lessThan (int a)
{
int x;
if (a
{
x=a;
return 1;
}
}

No. You're not on the right path.

I've looked into a little more, does this look any better? Thanks, if not can you give me an idea if its something specific or the entire thing is wrong

int lessThan (int a)
{
int x;
if (a<=x) return 2;
}
{
x<a;
return 1;
}

Reread.

Where is "the counter object it's applied to" and where is its "counter argument?"
