Calling a function in C++

I'm new to the whole C++ programming thing, and I know this is a easy solution, but I just cant figure it out! I simply just wanna call a function that prints out 1 + 4. Here's the code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int func()
{
    cout << 1 + 4;
    return 0;
}

int main()
{
    int func();
}

It shows nothing in the console window, only that the application stopped with return code 0. Can someone tell me what's wrong?

you can just call the function by its name. Like func();

int func()
{
    cout << 1 + 4;
    return 0;
}

the above function is retruning an integer. you are returning 0. to make it more useful return the sum and catch it in main function.

int func(){
    return 1+4;// return 5 to main function.
}

now in main.

int main (){
     int ans = func();// ans will catch the result which is return by the func();
     cout<<ans;
     return 0;
}

try to understand the working of each statement.

You are not calling func() function correctly:

int main()
{
    // int func(); This line tries to declare a function which return int type.
    //             it doesn't call func()
    func();   // this line calls func() function, it will ouput 5
    return 0;
}
