What I'm asking is can I handle it using a bool operator

operator bool() const
{
}

void AnyFunction ()
{
   int nChar = 0;
   int nWord = 0;

   string rtf = GetYourString ();

   bool bRet = CharWordCount(rtf, &nWord, &nChar);

   printf ("there are %d words and %d characters in the string", nWord, nChar);
}

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

What you are making is giving the 2 Ints as reference to your function, so that when you end and come back to the calling point, you will have the values of your counts in the "parent" scope.

	int word_count = 0;
	int char_count = 0;
	WordCount(strRTF, word_count, char_count);
	printf("\nWords %d Characters %d", word_count, char_count);
