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.

Introductution To Structures In C Language

About Structure:- Arrays allow to define a type of variables that can hold several data items of the same kind. Similarly, structure is another user-defined data type available in C that allows to combine data items of different kinds. Let Us Take An Real Life Example: If We want to track the following attributes about each book: 1.Title (May Be String) 2.Author(May Be String) 3.Subject (May Be String) 4.Book ID (Integer Type) Than We Have to Define A Structure Variable That Can Take This Different Type Of Data-Types. Syntax For Defining A Structure:- struct [structure_Name] { member definition; member definition; ... member definition; } [one or more structure variables]; For Information of Student The Definition of structure Will Be: struct student_data {  char name[20];  int roll_Number;  int standered;  char father's_name[20]; } std1; //structure Vaiable   Accesing Structure Members:- The Members of structure variable accesed by Dot(.) Operator.. Let Us Take...

Types Of Array In C language

Two Dimensional Array :- * It Is The Combination Of Two One Dimensional Array * It Is Used To Implement Matrix Operation . *A two-dimensional array can be considered as a table which  will have 'a' number of rows and'b'number of columns. Declaration Of Two Dimensional Array:-   data_type Array_name [size of row][size of column]; For Example:- int matrix[3][4]; in above example we will store a matrix of 3*3. This Will Cleared From Following Figure:- *It can be represented a[i][j].where i and j represents  row and column respectively. Initialization Of Two Dimensional Array:- let us consider an array "float a[3][3]"then it will be initialized float a[3][3]={                {1.2,2.3,4.3} //initializers for row indexed by 0                {2.1,2.2,2.3} //initializers for row indexed by 1                {3.1,3.4,3.6} //initializers for row indexed by 2 ...

Variables And Constant In C Language

Introduction To Variable:- A variable is a name given to a storage area that our programs can manipulate. Each variable in C language has a specific type, which determines the size and layout of the variable's memory, the range of values that can be stored within that memory, and the set of operations that can be applied to the variable. The name of a variable can be composed of letters, digits, and the underscore character. It must begin with either a letter or an underscore. Upper and lowercase letters are distinct because C is case-sensitive. Based on the basic types explained in the previous post, there will be the following basic variable types:- Variable Definition in c language:- A variable definition tells the compiler where and how much storage to create for the variable. General Syntax For creating A Variable is data type_name; For Multiple Variable Of Same Data type:- data type_name1,name2,name3..; For Example :- int a; extern int c=6; // declaration of c static int f;  ...
