C++ Recursion Returning Two Void Functions [closed]
up vote

I am attempting to make a maze solving algorithm.
Inside this algorithm where i want to return multiple recursion statements, however I get this error.
error: invalid operands of types 'void' and 'void' to binary 'operator+'
return find(x,y+1) + find(x,y-1);
~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~
This line is called within the void find() function.
obviously, it doesn't allow me to return two void functions. However, I don't know how else to do this. I don't want any return values (I want it to simply end once a solution is found). I can't add these return values to another function, because that would simply be moving the problem elsewhere without solving my issue.
Is there a possible way that I could return two void functions?

If you don't want to have any return values, then why do you attempt to add them?? There is some other error in logic, so you need to share more codes and explain what exactly you try to do. But please do it on stackoverflow as programming is off topic here.

Programming questions belong on Stack Overflow. You should also include sample code demonstrating how to reproduce your problem.

ok, sorry about that. I will post it in stack overflow. The sample code is the code in the error.
