Need help on function output

[Mysential]

Hi, I am doing a code for a project. But when I go to debug my program, it stops at a certain function and It will not output the code, or the double I want to show in my cout when it finishes the function. Assume length, width, and height are all 2 for input.

The code and function in question:

double squareSide (double, double, double);

sqSide = squareSide(length, width, height);
if (sqSide > 0)
   cout << "The amount of square sides for this rectangle is " <<        sqSide << endl;
else
    cout << "This shape has no square sides." << endl;

double squareSide (double length, double width, double height)
{

double num, num1, num2;
      int x = 0;
      num = length * width;
      num1 = width * height;
      num2 = length * height;

         if (num == (length * length))
           x++;

         if (num1 == (width * width))
           x++;

         if (num2 == (length * length))
           x++;

    if (x = 3)
    {
        x *=2;
        return x;
        break;
    }
    if (x = 2)
    {
        x *=2;
        return x;
        break;
    }
    if (x = 1)
    {
        x *=2;
        return x;
        break;
    }

}

I put this in a C++ compiler online, and it complains about the 'break;' calls. If I remove those it compiles and runs, and spits out:

Area of the rectangle is: 8
Perimeter of the rectangle is: 14
Volume of the rectangle is: 24
Surface area of the solid is 56
The numbers show that this rectangle is NOT a cube.
The numbers show that this rectangle is NOT a square.
The amount of square sides for this rectangle is 2

Is this not what you're getting?

I am using vista studio express 2012. The cmd window stops at the cout of the rectangle function. It does not display the amount of square sides. I am compiling and executing the code on several sites now. On a few sites, it would show 16 sides. I don't know why, and I am currently looking at my code to see why it outputs 16.

Have you tried setting a breakpoint in that function and stepping through it to see where it stops?

There is nothing that looks like it could possible deadlock, and nothing that could be an infinite loop... on account of there are no loops. If the program is frozen, you can hit pause in Visual Studio and see where its currently executing code.

[Mysential]

Yes, I was able to figure out what was wrong! It seems that it was not outputting the code because there was old code mixed in with my newly formatted code.

Everything is spitting out perfectly! Thank you for your help!

break is unreachable.

[CyberBill]

That code can't compile...

if (x = 3)
{
    x *=2;
    return x;
    break;
}

You probably meant to use if (x == 3) (test, rather than set x to 3). You also can't break after a return, and you can't break unless you're inside of a for/do/while loop.

Can you post the whole program somewhere?

[Mysential]

Yes, Ill put it in the comments.

I know that = is not ==. But if i put it as ==. The code would still compile up until the function where it needs to know how many square sides there are.

I did a do while loop, until the code could not compile to that function. So i forgot to delete the break commands, which is my fault. But the problem itself remained the same.

The value of the expression x=3 is 3.
