Function returs 0s as the values of structural member

[alexibm]

Hi !
Here is a problem, ProcessCheck function returns temp2.debits = 0
I don't understand why ?

struct Record
{
	int code;
	double amount;
};

struct Totals
{
	double debits;
	double credits;
	double service_fee;
};
          
int main()
{
	int counter = 0;
	double balance;
	Record account;
	Totals account_totals = {0,0,0};

	ifstream inFile;
	inFile.open("c:\\checkin.dat");

	//Variable Declarations
	

	DisplayTitle();
	inFile >> balance;
	DisplayBal(balance);

	while(!inFile.eof())
	{
		account = GetData(inFile);
		switch(account.code)
		{
		case 1: balance = ProcessCheck(balance, account, account_totals);
			counter++; break;
		case 2: balance = ProcessDeposit(balance,account, account_totals);
			counter++; break;
		case 3: balance = ProcessATM(balance, account, account_totals);
			counter++; break;
		}
		DisplayBal(balance);
	}
	
double ProcessCheck(double bal, Record temp1, Totals temp2)
	{
		cout << "\n  Check =    " << setw(10) << temp1.amount;

		temp2.debits = temp1.amount + temp2.debits;

		return (bal - temp1.amount);
         }

You don't appear to be attempting to return anything related to temp2.

Did you mean to pass temp2 by reference rather than by value?

[alexibm]

ok ! In this case, is it possible to pass temp2 by reference rather than by value?

I am not sure it is possible for structures ?

[Lindley]

Of course it's possible for structures. Why wouldn't it be?
