That's not a sentence, and it doesn't make sense in any permutation I 
can do on it.

It makes sense if you're also returning a function object when the user 
does have something to say.  But I can't see how you might be doing 
that, unless you're using a lambda to make up a custom function object.

And you still don't show us the function that contains this input 
statement.  Nor how it gets used.  Is the user supposed to supply a 
value for b, and you put it in a variable called filename ?

And perhaps you meant for your function to CALL drawBoard(), rather than 
returning the function object drawBoard.
