Experiment No.

Title: Program for calculating area of circle, triangle, rectangle, square by passing
argument to a function.

Outcome: Student will able to handle problem statement by passing argument to


functions.

Theory:
Functions are used normally in those programs where some specific work is
required to be done repeatedly and looping fails to do the same.

Three things are necessary while using a function:

1. Declaring a function or prototype:

The general structure of a function declaration is as follows:

return_type function_name(arguments);

Before defining a function, it is required to declare the function i.e. to specify


the function prototype. A function declaration is followed by a semicolon ; . Unlike the
function definition only data type are to be mentioned for arguments in the function
declaration.

2. Calling a function:

The function call is made as follows:

function_name(arguments separated by comma);

3. Defining a function:

All the statements or the operations to be performed by a function are given in the
function definition which is normally given at the end of the program outside the
main.
Function is defined as follows:

return_type function_name(arguments)
{
Statements;
}

There are four types of functions depending on the return type and arguments:

• Functions that take nothing as argument and return nothing.


• Functions that take arguments but return nothing.
• Functions that do not take arguments but return something.
• Functions that take arguments and return something.
A function that returns nothing must have the return type “void”.
Functions inside Functions (Nested function):

Some programmer thinks that defining a function inside an another function is


known as “nested function”.
The nested function's name is local to the block where it is defined. For example,
here we define a nested function named square, and call it twice:
1. foo (double a, double b)
2. {
3. double square (double z) { return z * z; }
4. return square (a) + square (b);
5. }
The nested function can access all the variables of the containing function that are visible
at the point of its definition. This is
called lexical scoping.

Recursion:
A function that calls itself is known as a
recursive function. And, this technique
is known as recursion.
