Introduction to C++
Functions
Functions are fundamental building blocks in C++. They are
reusable code blocks. Functions perform specific tasks, promoting
modularity and readability.

This presentation covers function basics, declarations, parameters,


and advanced features. Grasping these concepts leads to writing
well-organized C++ code.
Function Declaration and Definition
Declaration (Prototype) Definition

The declaration tells the compiler about the function. It The definition contains the actual code. This is what the
specifies the name, return type, and parameters. function executes when called.

Example: Example:

int add(int a, int b); int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }


Return Types and the `return` Statement

Return Type Return Void


Functions can return a value, such The return statement sends a void functions can use return; to
as int, float, or void. void means value back to the caller. exit early.
the function returns nothing.
Function Parameters
(Arguments)
Formal Parameters
Variables in the function's definition.

Actual Parameters
Values passed when calling the function.

Parameter List
(dataType parameterName1, ...)
Pass by Value vs. Pass by Reference
Pass by Value Pass by Reference

A copy of the argument is passed. Changes inside the The function receives a reference to the original
function do not affect the original. variable. Changes do affect the original.

It is the default behavior in C++. Use & in the parameter list.


Function Overloading
Same name Different parameters
Multiple functions have Parameters must differ in
the same name. number or type.

Compiler resolution
Compiler chooses the right function at compile time.
Default Arguments
Default Values
1 Parameters can have default values.

Right to Left
2 Defaults must be specified from right to left.
