Calling Method Of Function In C Language

Calling Method In C Language:-
As We Already See That Any Function has Some Arguments Or void
If We Use Variable As Argument Then It Is Called FORMAL PARAMETERS.
*Formal parameters behave like other local variables inside the function
 and are created upon entry into the function and destroyed upon exit.
In C Language there are two ways in which arguments can be passed
to a function:-
1)Call by value:-      (using value)
2)Call by reference:-  (using pointer)
Now We Will See One By One These Arguments By Taking Suitable Example:
1)Call by value:- 
*In This Method actual value copies to formal parameter:
*Due To That changes made to the parameter inside the function
 have no effect on the argument.
This will cleared by following example:-
Example Program:-
//in this program we swap two variable using third variable:
#include <stdio.h>
/* function declaration */
void swapping(int a, int b);
int main ()
{
/* local variable definition */
int x = 69;
int y = 93;
printf("Before swapping the value of x= %d\n",x);
printf("Before swapping the value of y= %d\n",y);
/* calling a function to swapping the values */
swapping(x, y);
return 0;
}
/* function definition to swap the values */
void swapping(int a, int b)
{
int temp;     //a local variable for swapping
temp = a;    /* save the value of x */
a = b;      /* put a into b */          
b = temp;   /* put temp into y */
printf("After swapping the value of x= %d\n",a);
printf("After swapping the value of y= %d\n",b);
}
The Output Of This Program Will Be:-
Before swapping the value of x= 69
Before swapping the value of y= 93
After swapping the value of x= 93
After swapping the value of y= 69
2)Call by reference:-
*In This Method address of actual value copies to formal parameter.
*the address is used to access the actual argument.for this purpous
 we use pointers.
*the changes made to the parameter affect the passed argument.
This will cleared by following example:-
Example Program:-
//in this program we swap two variable using pointer:
#include <stdio.h>
void swapping(int *a, int *b);   /* function declaration */
int main ()
{                                              
int x = 66;     //  local variable definition 
int y = 59;
printf("Before swapping the value of x= %d\n",x);
printf("Before swapping the value of y= %d\n",y);
swapping(&x, &y);  // calling a function to swap the values.
               //("&x")indicates pointer to x i.e. address of variable x 
return 0;      //("&y")indicates pointer to y i.e. address of variable y
}
/* function definition to swap the values */
void swapping(int *a, int *b)
{
int temp;
temp = *a; /* save the value at address a */
*a = *b;   /* put b into a */
*b = temp; /* put temp into y */ 
printf("After swapping the value of x= %d\n",*a);
printf("After swapping the value of y= %d\n",*b);         
}
The Output Of This Program:-
Before swapping the value of x= 66
Before swapping the value of y= 59
After swapping the value of x= 59
After swapping the value of y= 66
NOTE:-
*By default, C uses call by value to pass arguments.
*it means the code within a function cannot alter the arguments used to
 call the function.

Pointer In C Language

          Introduction To Pointer: About Pointer:- *POINTER is a variable whose value is the address of another variable *Every variable is a memory location and every memory location  has its address defined which can be accessed using ampersand(&)  operator,which denotes an address in memory *Dynamic memory allocation,cannot be performed without using pointers. Let's start learning them in simple and easy steps. pointer variable declaration:- data_type *variable_name; *The asterisk ( * ) used to declare a pointer is the same asterisk used for   multiplication. some of the valid pointer declarations:- int *in;             //pointer to an intege r  double *db;  // pointer to a double  float *fl;         //  pointer to a float  char *chr    //pointer to a character   *The only difference between pointers of different data types is the data type of the va...

Introduction To Array In C Language

Introduction To Array: *Array Is A Type Of Data Structure Which Store Collection of Data Of  Same Type.Which Can Be Integer Float Or Character. *All arrays consist of contiguous memory locations. *The lowest address corresponds to the first element and the highest  address to the last element. Declaration Of Array:- It Consist up of 3 part :- 1.Data Type  2.Array Name 3.Size Of Array General Syntax:-                                                      data_type Array_name[size_of_array]; For Example:-  int marks[20]; in example datatype of array is int and name is marks and size is 20. * It Is Called Single Dimensional Array * the Array Size Must be Integer And it   must be greater than zero. Initialization Of Array: *We initialize an array in C either one by one or using a single statement           ...
