Function
Function
Why function ?
Avoids rewriting the same code over and over.
Using functions it becomes easier to write programs and keep track of what they doing.
Types of Function
Function
void main()
{
....
func1(); Function call
}
void func1()
{
.... Function definition
//function body
....
}
Function Prototype
A function Prototype also know as function declaration.
A function declaration tells the compiler about a function name and how to call the
function.
It defines the function before it is being used or called.
A function prototype needs to be written at the beginning of the program.
Syntax Example
return-type function-name (arg-1, arg 2, …); void addition(int, int);
Function Definition
A function definition defines the functions header and body.
A function header part should be identical to the function prototype.
Function return type
Function name
List of parameters
A function body part defines function logic.
Function statements
Syntax Example
return-type function-name (arg-1, arg 2, …) void addition(int x, int y)
{ {
//... Function body printf("Addition is=%d“,(x+y));
} }
WAP to add two number using add(int, int) Function
Program Output
1 #include <stdio.h> Addition is = 11
2 void add(int, int); // function declaration
3
4 void main()
5 {
6 int a = 5, b = 6;
7 add(a, b); // function call
8 }
9
10 void add(int x, int y) // function definition
11 {
12 printf("Addition is = %d", x + y);
13 }
Actual parameters and Formal parameters
Values that are passed to the called function from the main function are known
as Actual parameters.
The variables declared in the function prototype or definition are known as Formal
parameters.
When a method is called, the formal parameter is temporarily "bound" to the
actual parameter.
Syntax
return;
Or
return (expression);
WAP to find maximum number from two number
Program Output
1 #include <stdio.h> Max value is : 200
2 int max(int a, int b);
3 void main()
4 {
5 int a = 100;
6 int b = 200;
7 int maxvalue;
8 maxvalue = max(a, b);
9 printf("Max value is : %d\n",
10 maxvalue);
11 }
12 int max(int a, int b)
13 {
14 if (a > b)
15 return a; // return a
16 else
17 return b; // return b
18 }
WAP to calculate the Power of a Number
Program Output
1 #include <stdio.h> Enter any number : 5
2 int power(int, int); Enter power of number : 3
3 void main() 5's power 3 = 125
4 {
5 int num, pow, res;
6 printf("Enter any number : ");
7 scanf("%d", &num);
8 printf("Enter power of number : ");
9 scanf("%d", &pow);
10 res = power(num, pow);
11 printf("%d's power %d = %d", num, pow, res);
12 }
13 int power(int n, int p)
14 { int r = 1;
15 while (p >= 1)
16 {
17 r = r * n;
18 p--;
19 }
20 return r;}
WAP to find Factorial of a Number
Program Output
1 #include <stdio.h> Enter the number :
2 int fact(int); 5
3 int main() factorial = 120
4 {
5 int n, f;
6 printf("Enter the number :\n");
7 scanf("%d", &n);
8 f = fact(n);
9 printf("factorial = %d", f);
10 }
11 int fact(int n)
12 {
13 int i, fact = 1;
14 for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
15 fact = fact * i;
16 return fact;
17 }
WAP to check Number is Prime or not
Program Program contd.
1#include <stdio.h> 14 int checkPrime(int n1)
2int checkPrime(int); 15 {
3void main() 16 int i = 2;
4{ 17 while (i <= n1 / 2)
5 int n1, prime; {
6 printf("Enter the number :");
18 if (n1 % i == 0)
7 scanf("%d", &n1); 19 return 0;
8 prime = checkPrime(n1); 20 else
9 if (prime == 1) 21 i++;
10 printf("The number %d is a prime 22 }
number.\n", n1); 23 return 1;
11 else 24 }
12 printf("The number %d is not a prime
number.\n", n1);
13 }
Output
Enter the number :7
The number 7 is a prime number.
