why doesnt the bool function return false? - c++

Question

I'm soo sorry I searched for and read similar questions but couldn't understand/use them to solve my own.
Im writing a bool function within an if statement but the function doesn't seem to return false, what am I doing wrong.
My bool function just checks if there are more than one of the given number in an array:
bool findsame(int a[], int b){
int k=0;
for(int i=0;i<20;i++){
if(a[i]==b){
k++;
}
}
if(k>1){
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
int main()
{
const int size=20;
int a[size]={4,4};
int b=4;
if(findsame(a,b)){
cout<<"true";
}
}

I think you got confused why "false" is not getting printed on console with the function returning the false value.
You need to add to an extra else statement to print false on the console:
if(findsame(a,b)){
std::cout<<"true";
}else{
std::cout<<"false";
}
Also, there are two 4 values in the array, therefore always true will get printed.
Try passing value of b other than 4 and 0.
Have a look at the following implementation where value of variable b is equal to 1:
#include<iostream>
bool findsame(int a[], int b){
int k=0;
for(int i=0;i<20;i++){
if(a[i]==b){
k++;
}
}
if(k>1){
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
int main()
{
const int size=20;
int a[size]={4,4};
int b=1;
if(findsame(a,b)){
std::cout<<"true";
}else{
std::cout<<"false";
}
}
Output:
false
PS: I have also tested code for the value of b = 4 and it prints true. Check and Run the code here: https://onlinegdb.com/S1LR5PtvD
