LAB ACTIVITY 5B: FUNCTION (II)

Duration: 2 Hours

Learning Outcomes
This lab activity encompasses activities 5B(i), 5B(ii) and 5B(iii).

By the end of this practical session, you should be able to :

• Apply the functions in programming.


• Declare function prototypes
• Identify the scope of variables
• Use the parameters passing techniques

Hardware/Software: C++ software (Dev C++, Microsoft Visual Studio, Turbo C++ 5.0/6.0)

Activity 5B (i)
Activity Outcome: Write and compile a program in user-defined function.
Duration: 30 minutes

The following example illustrates how to passing arguments to function.

Procedure:

Step 1: Type the programs given below

//This is a program to receive input from the user and display the output
using user-defined function

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
//function prototype/declaration
void RepeatChar(char, int);
int main()
{
char character;
int count;

cout<<"Enter a character: ";


cin>>character;

cout<<"Enter repeat count: ";


cin>>count;

RepeatChar(character,count); //call function


return 0;
}
//function definition
void RepeatChar(char ch, int n)
{
for(int j=0; j<n; j++)
cout<<ch<<"\t";
cout<<endl;
}

Step 2: Compile the program.


Step 3: Write the output.

Step 4: Save the program as ________________

Activity 5B (ii)

Activity Outcome: Write and compile a program in user-defined function.


Duration: 60 minutes

The following example illustrates how to write program using user-defined function and identify
function calls using call by value.

Procedure:

Step 1: Type the programs given below.

//This is a program to identify the function calls using call by value

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//Function prototype/declaration
int sum(int, int, int);

int main()
{
int p = 11, q = 22, r = 33, total;

total = sum(p, q, r); //call function


cout<<"Total value is: "<<total<<endl;

total = sum(p, q=55, r); //call function


cout<<"Total value is: "<<total<<endl;
return 0;

//function definition
int sum(int p, int q, int r)
{
int result;

result = p + q + r;
return (result);

Step 2: Compile the program.


Step 3: Write the output.

Step 4: Save the program as ________________

Step 5: Change the initial value of p to 15, q to 10, and r to 50. Then compile the program and
write the output.

Step 6: What is the return type of a function sum?


__ _____________________________________________________________

Step 7: List all parameter(s) involve in the function sum?

Activity 5B (iii)

Activity Outcome: Write and compile a program in user-defined function.


Duration: 30 minutes

The following example illustrates how to write program using user-defined function and identify
function calls using call by reference.

Procedure:

Step 1: Type the programs given below.

//This is a program to identify the function calls using call by reference

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

//function prototype/declaration
void funct_ref(int &z1, int z2);

int main()
{
int x = 1;
int y = 1;

funct_ref(x, y); //call function

cout<<"x is "<<x<<endl;
cout<<"y is "<<y<<endl;

//function definition
void funct_ref(int &z1, int z2)
{
z1++;
z2++;
}

Step 2: Compile the program.


Step 3: Write the output.
Step 4: Save the program as ________________

Step 5: Change the initial value of x to 10, and y to 20. Then compile the program and write the
output.
