Cannot call a function
-
Hello, I cannot call a function from another function. I do not know what is wrong. I have a function that returns double :
double calculateMathVectors();
That is how it is defined in header under private: section. Then when I try to call it from another function as:
void protocolForm::receiveMathSignals(QString selected1, QString selected2, QString operation, QString signalName) { protocolForm::calculateMathVectors(); }
At the beginning of the called function there is qDebug().
double protocolForm::calculateMathVectors() { qDebug()<< "entered"; . . . }
But it never enters to that qDebug(). How might be wrong? Probably I am missing a very simple thing.

Perhaps you have to learn a little bit more C++ language basics?
If you want to call a function from your class, simply call it!double protocolForm::calculateMathVectors() { qDebug()<< "entered"; ... } void protocolForm::receiveMathSignals(QString selected1, QString selected2, QString operation, QString signalName) { calculateMathVectors(); }
Just another hint, it is recommended to use UpperCamelCase for class names and lowerCamelCase for function names.
So your class name should be ProtocolForm. -
@GunkutA
It looks like you should just call it viacalculateMathVectors();
. However, put aqDebug()
intoprotocolForm::receiveMathSignal()
first line, prove that is being called in the first place? -

Are you sure you are running the right code (e.g. do you have build it successfully)?
Do you have tried to set breakpoint and start in debug mode? -
@JonB There is a qDebug() in the first line of protocolForm::receiveMathSignal(). When I simply called calculateMathVectors(); still not entering the function sadly.

No there isn't, you have shown the code of
protocolForm::receiveMathSignals()
method and there is no such statement. -
