Use typedef keyword to define new variable type
#include <iostream>
typedef unsigned short int USHORT;
int main()
{
USHORT Width = 5;
USHORT Length;
Length = 10;
USHORT Area = Width * Length;
std::cout << "Width: " << Width << "\n";
std::cout << "Length: " << Length << std::endl;
std::cout << "Area: " << Area << std::endl;
return 0;
}Width: 5
Length: 10
Area: 50
Use typedef to create new data type and use it as function return type
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
typedef double NewType;
NewType f(double number);
NewType f2(double number);
NewType f3(double number);
int main()
{
int menu;
double num;
NewType response;
response = f(num);
cout << "The answer is " << response;
response = f2(num);
cout << "The answer is " << response;
response = f3(num);
cout << "The answer is " << response;
return 0;
}
NewType f(double number)
{
return sqrt(number);
}
NewType f2(double number)
{
return pow(number,.3333);
}
NewType f3(double number)
{
return pow (number,.25);
}The answer is 2.29873e-154The answer is 3.8421e-103The answer is 1.51616e-077"
