Help in combining two functions in c++

Question

I am just trying something with somebody else\'s code.

I have two functions:

int Triangle(Render *render, int numParts, Token *nameList, Pointer *valueLi

You shouldn't put functions together, you should split them apart. Put a new function wherever you can name them -- try to make them as small as you can. If you want a function that does all of that stuff, have a function that calls the other functions.

int foobar() {

    int a;
    int b;

    /* do a whole bunch of stuff with a */

    /* do a whole bunch of stuff with b */

    return  a + b;

}

this is sort of what you're trying to do. Instead, do this:

int foo(){

    int a;

    /* do a bunch of stuff with a */

    return a;

}

int bar() {

    int b;

    /* do a bunch of stuff with b */

    return b;

}

int foobar() {

    return foo() + bar();

}

The result will be cleaner, easier to maintain and re-usable.
