The Exercise
Consider the following code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  int low;
  int high;

  cout << "Enter a value:";
  cin >> low;
  cout << "Enter a value:";
  cin >> high;

  cout << "Thank you for the input!" << endl;

  int sum=0;
  for(int i=low; i<=high; i++)
    sum+=i*i;

  cout << "The sum from i=" << low << " to " << high << " of i^2   is :"
       << sum << endl;

  return 0;
}




Your task is to rewrite this program so that it performs exactly the same task but has a main
function that must look exactly like the following:

int main()
{
  int low=get_value();
  int high=get_value();

  cout << "Thank you for the input!" << endl;

  cout << "the sum from i=" << low << " to " << high << " of i^2   is :"
       << sumi2(low,high) << endl;

  return 0;
}




Could someone please help me with this?
I've been trying for hours, im new to c++ and just need some help.

Whoever set you this task is a **** moron. They're asking you to use cin inside a function which would result in an inflexible and DOS-only program.

However this is probably what they're looking for

int get_value() {

     cin >> input;
     return input;

}
