Assigning Two Motors To One Name

I am using a four motor base for my robot

How do I assign the two right motors to one variable.:question:

Make a function:

#include "robot-config.h"

void controlTwoMotors(int speed) {
    FirstMotor.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, speed, vex::velocityUnits::pct);
    SecondMotor.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, speed, vex::velocityUnits::pct);
}

int main() {
  while(true) {
    controlTwoMotors(Controller1.Axis3.value());
    vex::task::sleep(20); 
  }
}

    FirstMotor.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, speed, vex::velocityUnits::pct);
    SecondMotor.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, speed, vex::velocityUnits::pct);
}

int main() {
  while(true) {
    controlTwoMotors(Controller1.Axis3.value());
    vex::task::sleep(20); 
  }
}

How can I use this in a rotateFor command?

Just use rotateFor instead of spin in the function:

void twoLeftMotorsRotateFor (arguments as appropriate) {
    motor1.startRotateFor( info either constants or from arguments );
    motor2.rotateFor( info either constants or from arguments );
}

There are a lot of other embellishments that can be accomplished by this kind of separating things out into functions, to the point where the top-level calls look incredibly simple, but with lots going on under the hood.
