• Functions is a sub-program that contains one or more
statements and it performs some task when called.
TYPES:

FUNCTIONS:
Functions
User-Defined
Functions
Pre-Defined
Functions

3
PRE-DEFINED FUNCTIONS
• The pre-defined functions or library functions are built-
in functions.
• The user can use the functions, but cannot modify the
function.

4
4
sqrt(x):
It is used to find the square root of x
Example: sqrt(36) is 6
abs(x):
It is used to find the absolute value of x
Example: abs(-36) is 36
pow(x,y):
It is used to find the value of xy
Example: pow(5,2) is 25
ceil(x):
It is used to find the smallest integer greater than or
equal to x
Example: ceil(7.7) is 8

USER-DEFINED FUNCTIONS
• Introduction
User-defined function has to be developed by the user
at the time of writing a program.
5

NEED FOR USER-DEFINED FUNCTIONS
• main is a specially recognized function in C.
• Program utilizing only main leads to a number of
problems.
– The program - become too large and complex - result the task
of debugging, testing and maintaining becomes difficult.
• Some operations or calculations are repeated at many
points throughout a program.
6

ADVANTAGES:
• It facilitates top-down modular programming.
• The length of a source program can be reduced by using
functions at appropriate places.
• It is easy to locate and isolate a faulty function for
further investigation.
• A function may be used by many other programs.
7

MULTI-FUNCTION PROGRAM
• A function is a self-contained block of code that
performs a particular task.
• Once a function has been designed and packed, it can
be treated as a ‘block box’ that takes some data from the
main program and returns a value.
8

A function called printline which could print a line of 39-charavter length.
main()
{
printline();
printf(“This illustrates the use of C functions n”);
printline();
}
printline()
{
int i;
for (i=1;i<40;i++)
printf(“-”);
printf(“n”);
}
Output:
-----------------------------------------
This illustrates the use of C functions

How Function Works
 Once a function is called the control passes to the called
function.
 The working of calling function is temporarily stopped.
 When the execution of called function is completed then
the control returns back to the calling function and
execute the next statement.

main()
{
___________
function1();
___________
function2();

Function
Called Function

THE FORM OF C FUNTIONS
function-name(argument list)
argument declaration;
{
local variable declarations;
executable statement1;
executable statement2;
……………….
……………….
return(expression);
}
12

13
Parameters
 Actual Parameter
These are the parameters transferred from the
calling function to the called function.
 Formal Parameter
These are the parameters which is used in the called
function.

RETURN VALUES AND THEIR TYPES
• A function sends back any information to the calling
function is called return values.
• It is possible to pass the called function any number of
values, the called function can only return one value per
call.
return;
or
return(expression);
15

RETURN VALUES AND THEIR TYPES
• A return is encountered; the control is immediately
passed back to the calling function.
• return with an expression
mul(x,y)
int x,y;
{
int p;
p = x*y;
return p; or return(x*y)
} 16

A function may have more than one return statement.
if(x<=0)
return(0);
else
return(1);
Function return is called type specifier in the function
header
double product(x,y)
float sqr_root(p)
17

CALLING A FUNCTION
 A function can be called by simply using the function
name in a statement.
Example
main()
{
int p;
p = mul(10,5);
printf(“%dn”, p);
} 18

19
Function Prototypes
A function, depending on whether arguments are
present or not and whether a value is returned or not, may
belong to one of the following categories:
•Function with no arguments and no return values
•Function with arguments and no return values
•Function with arguments and return values
•Function with no arguments and with return values

20
Function with no arguments and no return
values
 Here no data transfer take place between the calling
function and the called function.
 These functions act independently, i.e. they get input
and display output in the same block.
main()
{
___________
function2();
___________
}
function2()
{
___________
___________
___________
}
No
input
No
output

21
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
void add(void); //calling function
add();
}
void add() //called function
{
int a,b,c;
printf("nEnter two number:");
scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);
c=a+b;
printf("nSum is:%d",c);
}
Output:
Enter two number:
3
4
Sum is:7

22
Function with arguments and no return
values
 Here data transfer take place between the calling
function and the called function.
 It is a one way data communication, i.e. the called
program receives data from calling program but it does
not return any value to the calling program.
main()
{
___________
function2(a);
___________
}
function2(f)
{
___________
___________
___________
}
Values of
arguments
No return
value

23
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a,b;
void add(int,int);
add(a,b);
}
void add(int x,int y) //function with arguments
{
int z;
z=x+y;
printf("nSum is:%d",z);
}
Output:
Enter two number:
2
4
Sum is:6

24
Function with arguments and return
values
 Here data transfer take place between the calling
function and the called function and returns value to
calling function.
 It is a two way data communication, i.e. the called
program receives data from calling program and it
return some value to the calling program.
main()
{
___________
p=function2(a);
___________
}
data_type function2(f)
{
___________
___________
return exp;
}
Values of
arguments
return value

25
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a,b,c;
int add(int,int);
c=add(a,b);
printf("nSum is:%d",c);
}
int add(int x,int y)
{
int z;
z=x+y;
return(z);
}
Output:
Enter two number:
6
7
Sum is:13

26
Function with no arguments and with
return values
 Here data transfer take place between the called
function and the calling function.
 It is a one way data communication, i.e. the called
program does not receives data from calling program
but it return some value to the calling program.
main()
{
___________
p=function2();
___________
}
data_type function2()
{
___________
___________
return exp;
}
No
arguments
return value

27
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int add(),d;
d=add();
printf("nSum is:%d",d);
}
int add() //function with no argument
{ int a,b,c;
c=a+b;
return(c);
}
Output:
Enter two number:
8
5
Sum is:13

28
Parameter Passing Methods
 Call by value
 Call by reference
CALL BY VALUE
 Actual argument passed to the formal argument.
 Any changes to the formal argument does not affect the
actual argument.

30
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void change(int,int);
void main()
{
int x,y,
printf("nEnter value of x:");
scanf("%d",&x);
printf("nEnter value of y:");
scanf("%d",&y);
change(x,y);
printf("nnValues in the Main()-->x=%d,y=%d",x,y);
}
void change(int a,int b)
{
int c;
c=a; a=b; b=c;
printf("nValues in the Fuction -->x=%d,y=%d",a,b);
}
Output:
Enter value of x:5
Enter value of y:6
Values in the Fuction -->x=6,y=5
Values in the Main()-->x=5,y=6

31
Call by reference
 Instead of passing value, the address of the argument
will be passed.
 Any changes to the formal argument will affect the
actual argument.

33
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void change(int*,int*);
void main()
{
int x,y, printf("nEnter value of x:");
scanf("%d",&x);
printf("nEnter value of y:");
scanf("%d",&y);
change(&x,&y);
printf("nnValues in the Main()-->x=%d,y=%d",x,y);
}
void change(int *a,int *b)
{
int c;
c=*a; *a=*b; *b=c;
printf("nValues in the Function -->x=%d,y=%d",*a,*b);
}
Output:
Enter value of x:5
Enter value of y:6
Values in the Fuction -->x=6,y=5
Values in the Main()-->x=6,y=5

NESTING OF FUNCTIONS
main()
{
int a,b,c;
float ratio();
scanf(“%d%d%d”, &a, &b, &c);
printf(“%fn”, ratio(a,b,c));
}
float ratio(x,y,z)
int x,y,z;
{
if(difference(y,z))
return(x/(y-z));
else
return(0.0);
}
34
difference(p,q)
int p,q;
{
if(p!=q)
return(1);
else
return(0);
}
Nesting of function call is also possible.
Eg: P = mul(mul(5,2),6);
Output:
8 5 3
4

35
Recursion
 It is a process of calling the same function itself again
and again until some condition is satisfied.
 Syntax:
func1()
{
………..
func1();
}

36
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a;
int rec(int);
printf("nEnter the number:");
scanf("%d",&a);
printf("The factorial of %d! is %d",a,rec(a));
}
int rec(int x)
{
int f;
if(x==1)
return(1);
else
f=x*rec(x-1);
return(f);
}
Output:
Enter the number: 5
The factorial of 5! is 120

STRUCTURE
 A Structure is a collection of different data items, that
are stored under a common name.
Syntax:
struct structure_name
{
structure element1;
structure element2;
…………………….
};

 Defines a new type
I.e., a new kind of data type that compiler regards
as a unit
 E.g.,
struct motor {
float volts; //voltage of the motor
float amps; //amperage of the motor
int phases; //# of phases of the motor
float rpm; //rotational speed of motor
}; //struct motor
STRUCTURE

•45

 Let
struct motor p;
struct motor q[10];
 Then
p.volts — is the voltage
p.amps — is the amperage
p.phases — is the number of phases
p.rpm — is the rotational speed
q[i].volts — is the voltage of the ith motor
q[i].rpm — is the speed of the ith motor

 Let
struct motor *p;
 Then
(*p).volts — is the voltage of the motor pointed
to by p
(*p).phases — is the number of phases of the
motor pointed to by p

•52
52
 The (*p).member notation is a nuisance
Clumsy to type; need to match ( )
Too many keystrokes
 This construct is so widely used that a special notation
was invented, i.e.,
p->member, where p is a pointer to the structure

•53

 Let
struct motor *p;
 Then
p -> volts — is the voltage of the motor pointed
to by p

 Remember:–
 Passing an argument by value is an instance of
copying or assignment
 Passing a return value from a function to the caller is
an instance of copying or assignment

 A union is a user defined data type like structure.
 The union groups logically related variables into a
single unit.
 The union data type allocate the space equal to space
need to hold the largest data member of union.
 The union allows different types of variable to share
same space in memory.
 There is no other difference between structure and union
than internal difference.
 The method to declare, use and access the union is same
as structure.

1) The memory occupied by structure variable is the
sum of sizes of all the members but memory occupied
by union variable is equal to space hold by the largest
data member of a union.
2) In the structure all the members are accessed at any
point of time but in union only one of union member
can be accessed at any given time.
