Inroduction To Function In C language

Functions:
*It is block of code that together perform a task.
*In C programming at least one function is present Is main().
*WITHOUT main we can make any program in c lnguage.
*We Can Devide Our Code In Diffrent Function By Two Part.
1)Fuction Declaration:
2)Function Definition:
Now We Will Understand Abouut These Fuction Parts.
1)Function Declration:-
*A function declaration tells the compiler about a
 function name and how to callthe function.
*Fuction Declration Has Following Syntax.
 return_type function_name( parameters list );
return_type:=datatype which return by function
Function name:-Name Of The Function Which You Want
Paremeter List:-It Is List Of Argument Which Have To Pass.
For Example:-
int min(int x,int y); or int min(int ,int);
*Function declaration is required when you define a function in
 one source file all that function in another file.
2)Fuction Definition:-
*It The Acrual Body Of Function. It Means The code is written in
 This section Which Task Have To Perform:
Syntax For function Definition-
return_type function_name( parameter list )
{
body of the function
}
The return_type,function_name, Parameters Is Defined Above.
*Function Body:-The function body contains a collection of statements
 that define what the function does.
Example (Function definition)
Given Example Is The Source Code For A Fuction Called min().This Function
Take Two Parameters X,Y(integers) And It Returns minimum Of X,y
/* function returning the min between two numbers */
int max(int X, int Y)
{
/* local variable declaration */
int result;
if (X < Y)
result = X;
else
result = Y;
return result;
}
Calling A Function:-
*When a program calls a function, the program control is transferred
 to the called function
*A called function performs a defined task and when its return statement
 is executed or when its function-ending closing brace is reached, it then
 returns program control back to the main program.
*For Calling A Fumction We Need To pass the required parameters along with
 the function name, and if the function returns a value, then you can store
 the returned value.
Example Program:-
#include <stdio.h>
int max(int n1, int n2);    //function declaration 
int main ()
{
/* local variable definition */
int x = 10;
int y = 20;
int ret;
/* calling a function to get max value */
ret = min(x, y);
printf( "Min value is = %d\n", ret );
return 0;
}
int min(int n1, int n2)  //FUNCTION DEFINITION
{
/* local variable declaration */
int result;
if (n1 < n2)
result = n1;
else
result = n2;
return result;
}
Output Of This Program Is Given In Picture:-

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 =...

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           ...
