The document discusses functions in C programming. It defines functions as segments of code that perform well-defined tasks. Functions break up programs into smaller, more manageable parts. A function is called by another function, known as the calling function. When called, the program control jumps to the called function, executes its code, then returns control to the calling function. Functions make programs easier to understand, code, test and maintain. They also allow for code reusability through pre-written library functions. The document covers function declaration, definition, calling, parameters, return values, scope, and recursion.
