In problem set 1, we wrote a program that solved for the number of connections in a mesh network given the number of nodes using the following formula: Previous Program:  #include #include using namespace std; int main() {     int n = 0;      int c = 0;      cout << "Enter the number of Nodes: ";      cin >> n;      c = n * (n - 1) / 2;      cout << "The number of connections is: " << c << endl;     return 0;  } Where n is the number of nodes, or devices, in the network and c is the number of connections, or links. Rework this program to perform the calculation inside of a value returning function. Your main() function should prompt the user for the number of nodes and pass it as a value parameter to your function. Show your source code and a screenshot of your working program.

  1. In problem set 1, we wrote a program that solved for the number of connections in a mesh network given the number of nodes using the following formula:

Previous Program: 

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int n = 0; 
    int c = 0; 

    cout << "Enter the number of Nodes: "; 
    cin >> n; 
    c = n * (n - 1) / 2; 
    cout << "The number of connections is: " << c << endl;
    return 0; 
}

Where n is the number of nodes, or devices, in the network and c is the number of connections, or links. Rework this program to perform the calculation inside of a value returning function. Your main() function should prompt the user for the number of nodes and pass it as a value parameter to your function. Show your source code and a screenshot of your working program.
