Functions Mode For Bahria University Presentation

Functions in C allow programmers to group statements together to perform a specific task. A function receives parameters, performs some computation, and returns a value. Functions make code reusable, readable, and maintainable by breaking programs into smaller sub-units. Key aspects of functions include function prototypes, definitions, calls, return types, and passing arguments. Functions help programmers apply the principles of modularity and abstraction.

FUNCTIONS

in C Language

Nauman Ahmad Tariq


Functions
 The function is one of the most important things to
understand in C programming.

 Groups a number of program statements into a unit and


gives it a name. This unit can then be invoked(called)
from other parts of the program.

 A function is a sub-unit of a program which performs a


specific task.

 Functions are modules in c.

 Functions take arguments(constants values or variables)


and may return a value.
// Addition of two integers without
Function
#include<stdio.h>
intmain()
{
intnum1, num2, add_result;
printf("Enter first number\n");
scanf("%d", &num1);
printf("Enter second number\n");
scanf("%d", &num2);
add_result= num1 + num2;
printf("Addition result is %d\n",add_result);
getchar();
return 0;
}
// Addition of two integers using
Function
#include<stdio.h> int addnumbers(intx, inty)
Int addnumbers(intx, inty); {
Int main() intz;
{ z = x +y;
int num1, num2, add_result; return z;
printf("Enter first number\n"); }
scanf("%d", &num1);
printf("Enter second number\n");
scanf("%d", &num2);
add_result= addnumbers(num1,
num2);
printf("Addition result is
%d\n",add_result);
getchar(); return 0;
}
Benefits of Function
 Divide and Conquer
 Construct a program from smaller pieces or components
 Modularize a program (These smaller pieces are called
modules)
 Each piece more manageable than the original program
 Manageable program development
 Software reusability
 Use existing functions as building blocks for new programs
 Abstraction -hide internal details (library functions)
 Avoid code repetition
Functions
 A function receives zero or more parameters,
performs a specific task, and returns none or one
value.

 A function is invoked by its name and parameters.


 No two functions have the same name in your C program.
 The communication between the function and invoker is
through the parameters and the return value.

 Functions make programs reusable and readable.


Function Terminologies
 Function prototype

 Function definition
 Function header

 Calling a function

 Passing arguments

 Returning a value
Function Prototype
#include<stdio.h> int addnumbers(intx, inty)
Int addnumbers(intx, inty); {
Int main() intz;
{ z = x +y;
int num1, num2, add_result; return z;
printf("Enter first number\n"); }
scanf("%d", &num1);
printf("Enter second number\n");
scanf("%d", &num2);
add_result= addnumbers(num1,
num2);
printf("Addition result is
%d\n",add_result);
getchar(); return 0;
}
Function Definition
#include<stdio.h> int addnumbers(intx, inty)
Int addnumbers(intx, inty); {
Int main() intz;
{ z = x +y;
int num1, num2, add_result; return z;
printf("Enter first number\n"); }
scanf("%d", &num1);
printf("Enter second number\n");
scanf("%d", &num2);
add_result= addnumbers(num1,
num2);
printf("Addition result is
%d\n",add_result);
getchar(); return 0;
}
Function Call
#include<stdio.h> int addnumbers(intx, inty)
Int addnumbers(intx, inty); {
Int main() intz;
{ z = x +y;
int num1, num2, add_result; return z;
printf("Enter first number\n"); }
scanf("%d", &num1);
printf("Enter second number\n");
scanf("%d", &num2);
add_result= addnumbers(num1,
num2);
printf("Addition result is
%d\n",add_result);
getchar(); return 0;
}
Return Type
#include<stdio.h> int addnumbers(intx, inty)
Int addnumbers(intx, inty); {
Int main() intz;
{ z = x +y;
int num1, num2, add_result; return z;
printf("Enter first number\n"); }
scanf("%d", &num1);
printf("Enter second number\n");
scanf("%d", &num2);
add_result= addnumbers(num1,
num2);
printf("Addition result is
%d\n",add_result);
getchar(); return 0;
}
