How and When do you use these(int,functions,short)? i'm so confused because everytime I make a program it always requires one of these and sometimes it asks for things that are beyond our lessons. I'm just a beginner and right now we are making calendars out of C++ and I am having a hard time doing it. Cna somebody help out?

int is the C++ keyword that denotes an integer datatype. you use this keyword when declaring a variable or casting an expression. functions are blocks of code that can be exected as part of your program. functions do one "task" on a set of inputs and return some output. for example: int input = 25; int output; output = square_root(input); the above code block means, in english, "create an integer in memory called input who's value is 25. create an integer galled output. set the value of output to the square root of input." short is just another data type. you can lookup the behavior of the datatypes online.

unsigned int is an integer that can only be positive. if you try to set it to a negative value, then print it, you will get a very large positive value. unsigned ints can be twice as big as regular ints, which is one reason they are useful.
