Functions

Introduction to Function
Block of statements that perform the particular task.
Enables modular programming.
Main() is the driver function.
Has pre defined prototype.
Same function can be accessed from different places
within a program.
Once a function execution is completed , control
return to the place from where the function was
called.

Advantages
Modular Programming
Length of source program can be reduced
Easy to locate and isolate faulty function
Functions can be used by other program’s

Types of Functions
Library (Built In) Functions:
 They are written in the header files.
 To use them appropriate header files should be included.
Header Files Functions Defined
stdio.h Printf(), scanf(), getchar(), putchar(),
gets(), puts(), fopen(), fclose()
conio.h Clrscr(), getch()
Ctype.h Toupper(), tolower(), isalpha()
Math.h Pow(), sqrt(), cos(), log()
Stdlib.h Rand(), exit()
String.h Strlen(), strcpy(), strupr()

User Defined Functions
 Written by the user at the time of programming.

Elements of User defined functions
Function Prototype
Function Call
Function arguments and parameters
Function Definitions

Function prototype
It specify the type of value that is to be return from
the function and that is to be passed to the function.
It is defined in the beginning before the function call
is made.
Syntax:
 return-type name-of-function(list of arguments);
 Example
Void sum(int, int);

Function Call
A function can be called by specifying name and list
of arguments enclosed in parenthesis and separated
by comma.
If there is no arguments empty parenthesis are place
after function name.
If function return a value, function call is written as
assignment statement as:
 A=sum(x,y);

Function arguments and parameters
Arguments are also called actual parameters.
Arguments are written within parenthesis at the time
of function call.
Parameters are also called formal parameters.
These are written within parenthesis at the time of
function definition.

Function Definition
It is the independent program module.
It is written to specify the particular task that is to be
performed by the function.
The first line of the function is called function
declarator and rest line inside { } is called function
body

Return statement
It is the last statement of the function that return
certain values.
It return certain types of values to the place from
where the function was invoked.
Syntax:
 return(variable-name or constant);

Categories of function
Function with no arguments and no return
Function with arguments but no return
Function with no arguments and return
Function with arguments and return

Methods of calling function
Call by value
Call by reference

Call by value
Copies the value of actual parameters into formal
parameters.
During execution whatever changes are made in the
formal parameters are not reflected back in the
actual parameters.

Call by Reference
Reference(address) of the original variable is passed.
Function does not create its own copy, it refers to the
original values by reference.
Functions works with the original data and changes
are made in the original data.

Structure in CKamal Acharya

The document discusses various aspects of structures in C programming language. It defines a structure as a collection of variables of different data types grouped together under a single name. Structures allow grouping of related data and can be very useful for representing records. The key points discussed include: - Defining structures using struct keyword and accessing members using dot operator. - Declaring structure variables and initializing structure members. - Using arrays of structures to store multiple records. - Nested structures to group related members together. - Pointers to structures for dynamic memory allocation. - Passing structures, structure pointers and arrays of structures to functions.

Pointers C programmingAppili Vamsi Krishna

A pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of another variable. Pointers allow functions to modify variables in the caller and are useful for handling arrays and dynamic memory allocation. Pointers contain the address of the memory location they point to. Pointer variables can be declared to hold these memory addresses and can then be used to indirectly access the value at the addressed location.

ProteinsNagamani Manjunath

This document discusses proteins, including their structure, function, digestion, and importance. It notes that proteins are made up of amino acids and are essential for building muscle mass. During digestion, proteins are broken down into amino acids in the stomach and small intestine through chemical and mechanical processes aided by enzymes. The amino acids are then absorbed and transported to cells to build new proteins. Maintaining a variety of protein sources in the diet is important for health.

Array in cRavi Gelani

The document discusses different types of arrays in C programming language. It defines an array as a fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same data type. It describes one-dimensional, two-dimensional and multidimensional arrays. For one-dimensional arrays, it provides examples of declaration, initialization at compile-time and run-time. For two-dimensional arrays, it explains the memory layout and initialization syntax. It also lists some applications of arrays.

Structure of a C programDavid Livingston J

This document provides an overview of the basic structure and components of a C program. It discusses the main parts including preprocessor directives like #include and #define, comments, data types, variables, statements, functions, and input/output functions like printf, scanf, getchar and putchar. It explains that a C program requires a main function and can declare global variables and functions. The document also covers format specifiers and escape sequences used with functions like printf.

Strings in CKamal Acharya

Strings are arrays of characters that are null-terminated. They can be manipulated using functions like strlen(), strcpy(), strcat(), and strcmp(). The document discusses initializing and reading strings, passing strings to functions, and using string handling functions to perform operations like copying, concatenating, comparing, and reversing strings. It also describes arrays of strings, which are 2D character arrays used to store multiple strings. Examples are provided to demonstrate reading and sorting arrays of strings.

structure and unionstudent

- A structure is a user-defined data type that groups logically related data items of different data types into a single unit. Structures allow related data to be accessed and managed together. - Structures can contain nested structures as members. Nested structure members are accessed using two period operators (e.g. e1.doj.day). - Structures can be passed to functions as parameters and returned from functions. Pointers to structures are declared and accessed using arrow (->) operator instead of period operator. - A union shares the same memory space for multiple data types, allocating only enough space for its largest member. Unions allow different types to share the same memory location.

Pointers in c++Vineeta Garg

Pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of another variable. It allows dynamic memory allocation and access of memory locations. There are three ways to pass arguments to functions in C++ - pass by value, pass by reference, and pass by pointer. Pass by value copies the value, pass by reference copies the address, and pass by pointer passes the address of the argument. Pointers can also point to arrays or strings to access elements. Arrays of pointers can store multiple strings. References are alternative names for existing variables and any changes made using the reference affect the original variable. Functions can return pointers or references.

Oop c++class(final).pptAlok Kumar

This document provides an overview of object-oriented programming concepts using C++. It discusses key OOP concepts like objects, classes, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and dynamic binding. It also covers C++ specific topics like functions, arrays, strings, modular programming, and classes and objects in C++. The document is intended to introduce the reader to the fundamentals of OOP using C++.

Call by valueDharani G

The document discusses call by value and call by reference in functions. Call by value passes the actual value of an argument to the formal parameter, so any changes made to the formal parameter do not affect the actual argument. Call by reference passes the address of the actual argument, so changes to the formal parameter do directly modify the actual argument. An example program demonstrates call by value, where changing the formal parameter does not change the original variable.

Control statements in cSathish Narayanan

Operator & control statements in C are used to perform operations and control program flow. Arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, %) are used for mathematical calculations on integers and floating-point numbers. Relational operators (<, <=, >, >=, ==, !=) compare two operands. Logical operators (&&, ||, !) combine conditions. Control statements like if-else, switch, while, for, break, continue and goto alter program execution based on conditions.

C tokensManu1325

C programs are composed of six types of tokens: keywords, identifiers, constants, strings, special symbols, and operators. Keywords are reserved words that serve as building blocks for statements and cannot be used as names. Identifiers name variables, functions, and arrays and must begin with a letter. Constants represent fixed values and come in numeric, character, and string forms. Special symbols include braces, parentheses, and brackets that indicate code blocks, function calls, and arrays. Operators perform arithmetic, assignment, comparison, logic, and other operations.

The document discusses C functions, including their definition, types, uses, and implementation. It notes that C functions allow large programs to be broken down into smaller, reusable blocks of code. There are two types of functions - library functions and user-defined functions. Functions are declared with a return type, name, and parameters. They are defined with a body of code between curly braces. Functions can be called within a program and allow code to be executed modularly and reused. Parameters can be passed by value or by reference. Functions can return values or not, and may or may not accept parameters. Overall, functions are a fundamental building block of C that improve code organization, reusability, and maintenance.

Union in C programmingKamal Acharya

Unions allow a variable to hold objects of different types in the same memory location. All members of a union share the same memory location, which is the size of the largest member. This means unions save memory by storing all members in one block, but the programmer must ensure the correct member is being accessed based on the data currently stored. The example program defines a union called Student containing different data types, reads values into members, and displays the members to demonstrate unions share the same memory location.

File handling in cDavid Livingston J

The document discusses files and file operations in C/C++. It defines a file as a collection of bytes stored on a secondary storage device. There are different types of files like text files, data files, program files, and directory files. It describes opening, reading, writing, appending, and closing files using functions like fopen(), fread(), fwrite(), fclose(), etc. It also discusses random and sequential file access and modifying file contents using functions like fseek(), fread(), fwrite().

Programming in c Arraysjanani thirupathi

An array is a collection of data that holds a fixed number of values of the same type. Arrays allow storing multiple values in a single variable through indices. There are one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and multi-dimensional arrays. One-dimensional arrays use a single subscript, two-dimensional arrays use two subscripts like rows and columns, and multi-dimensional arrays can have more than two subscripts. Arrays can be initialized during declaration with values or initialized at runtime by user input or other methods. Elements are accessed using their indices and operations can be performed on the elements.

A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. Functions allow for modularity and code reuse in a program. There are several key aspects of functions: 1. Functions are defined with a return type, name, and parameters. The general format is return_type function_name(parameter list). 2. Parameters allow functions to accept input from the caller. There are two ways parameters can be passed: call by value or call by reference. 3. Variables declared inside a function are local, while those declared outside are global and visible to all code. Local variables exist only during the function's execution. 4. Functions can call themselves recursively to repeat a task, with a base

Loops BasicsMushiii

This document discusses different types of loops in C programming. It describes while, for, do-while, and nested loops. While loops execute a block of code as long as a condition is true. For loops allow executing a block of code a specific number of times. Do-while loops are similar to while loops but execute the block at least once even if the condition is false. Nested loops allow a loop to be placed inside another loop to repeat a block of code multiple times.

Functions are blocks of code that perform specific tasks. There are two types of functions: predefined/library functions provided by C, and user-defined functions created by the programmer. Functions make programs more modular and reusable. A function definition includes the function header with its name, parameters, and return type. The function body contains the code to execute. Functions are called by their name and actual parameters are passed in. Parameters in the function header are formal parameters that receive the passed in values. Functions can return values to the calling code.

It describes factors that make capacity planning unique for a data warehouse, such as variable workloads and larger data volumes than operational systems. The document provides guidance on estimating disk storage needs, classifying and estimating processing workloads, creating workload profiles, identifying peak capacity needs, and selecting hardware capacity to meet needs.

Data WarehousingKamal Acharya

Data warehousing involves assembling and managing data from various sources to provide an integrated view of enterprise information. A data warehouse contains consolidated, historical data used to support management decision making. It differs from operational databases by containing aggregated, non-volatile data optimized for queries rather than updates. The extract, transform, load (ETL) process migrates data from source systems to the warehouse, transforming it as needed. Process managers oversee loading, maintaining, and querying the warehouse data.

Search EnginesKamal Acharya

Search engines allow users to search the vast collection of documents on the web. They consist of crawlers that fetch web pages, indexers that analyze page content and links, and interfaces that allow users to enter queries. Crawlers add pages to an index by following links, and indexers create inverted indexes to map words to pages. When a query is searched, results are retrieved from the index and ranked based on relevance. PageRank is a key algorithm that ranks pages higher that receive more links from other highly ranked pages. While it effectively searches the large, diverse and dynamic web, search poses challenges in understanding ambiguous queries over an evolving collection.

Web MiningKamal Acharya

Web mining involves applying data mining techniques to discover useful information from web data. There are three types of web mining: web content mining analyzes data within web pages, web structure mining examines the hyperlink structure between pages, and web usage mining involves analyzing server logs to discover patterns in user behavior and interactions with websites. Web mining has applications in website design, web traffic analysis, e-commerce personalization, and security/crime investigation.

Applications of clustering discussed include business intelligence, image recognition, web search, outlier detection, and biology. Requirements for effective clustering in data mining are also outlined.

Association Analysis in Data MiningKamal Acharya

Association analysis is a technique used to uncover relationships between items in transactional data. It involves finding frequent itemsets whose occurrence exceeds a minimum support threshold, and then generating association rules from these itemsets that satisfy minimum confidence. The Apriori algorithm is commonly used for this task, as it leverages the Apriori property to prune the search space - if an itemset is infrequent, its supersets cannot be frequent. It performs multiple database scans to iteratively grow frequent itemsets and extract high confidence rules.

YSPH VMOC Special Report - Measles Outbreak Southwest US 4-30-2025.pptxYale School of Public Health - The Virtual Medical Operations Center (VMOC)

A measles outbreak originating in West Texas has been linked to confirmed cases in New Mexico, with additional cases reported in Oklahoma and Kansas. The current case count is 795 from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. 95 individuals have required hospitalization, and 3 deaths, 2 children in Texas and one adult in New Mexico. These fatalities mark the first measles-related deaths in the United States since 2015 and the first pediatric measles death since 2003. The YSPH Virtual Medical Operations Center Briefs (VMOC) were created as a service-learning project by faculty and graduate students at the Yale School of Public Health in response to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. Each year, the VMOC Briefs are produced by students enrolled in Environmental Health Science Course 581 - Public Health Emergencies: Disaster Planning and Response. These briefs compile diverse information sources – including status reports, maps, news articles, and web content– into a single, easily digestible document that can be widely shared and used interactively. Key features of this report include: - Comprehensive Overview: Provides situation updates, maps, relevant news, and web resources. - Accessibility: Designed for easy reading, wide distribution, and interactive use. - Collaboration: The “unlocked" format enables other responders to share, copy, and adapt seamlessly. The students learn by doing, quickly discovering how and where to find critical information and presenting it in an easily understood manner.

Functions in C

1. INTRODUCTION TO FUNCTIONS TYPES OF FUNCTIONS ELEMENTS OF USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS TYPES ON THE BASIS OF ARGUMENTS AND RETURN VALUES METHODS OF CALLING A FUNCTION Functions

2. Introduction to Function Block of statements that perform the particular task. Enables modular programming. Main() is the driver function. Has pre defined prototype. Same function can be accessed from different places within a program. Once a function execution is completed , control return to the place from where the function was called.

3. Advantages Modular Programming Length of source program can be reduced Easy to locate and isolate faulty function Functions can be used by other program’s

4. Types of Functions Library (Built In) Functions:  They are written in the header files.  To use them appropriate header files should be included. Header Files Functions Defined stdio.h Printf(), scanf(), getchar(), putchar(), gets(), puts(), fopen(), fclose() conio.h Clrscr(), getch() Ctype.h Toupper(), tolower(), isalpha() Math.h Pow(), sqrt(), cos(), log() Stdlib.h Rand(), exit() String.h Strlen(), strcpy(), strupr()

5. User Defined Functions  Written by the user at the time of programming.

6. Elements of User defined functions Function Prototype Function Call Function arguments and parameters Function Definitions

7. Function prototype It specify the type of value that is to be return from the function and that is to be passed to the function. It is defined in the beginning before the function call is made. Syntax:  return-type name-of-function(list of arguments);  Example Void sum(int, int);

8. Function Call A function can be called by specifying name and list of arguments enclosed in parenthesis and separated by comma. If there is no arguments empty parenthesis are place after function name. If function return a value, function call is written as assignment statement as:  A=sum(x,y);

9. Function arguments and parameters Arguments are also called actual parameters. Arguments are written within parenthesis at the time of function call. Parameters are also called formal parameters. These are written within parenthesis at the time of function definition.

10. Function Definition It is the independent program module. It is written to specify the particular task that is to be performed by the function. The first line of the function is called function declarator and rest line inside { } is called function body

12. Return statement It is the last statement of the function that return certain values. It return certain types of values to the place from where the function was invoked. Syntax:  return(variable-name or constant);

13. Categories of function Function with no arguments and no return Function with arguments but no return Function with no arguments and return Function with arguments and return

14. Function with no argument and no return

15. Function with argument and no return

16. Function with no argument and return

17. Function with argument and return

18. Methods of calling function Call by value Call by reference

19. Call by value Copies the value of actual parameters into formal parameters. During execution whatever changes are made in the formal parameters are not reflected back in the actual parameters.

21. Call by Reference Reference(address) of the original variable is passed. Function does not create its own copy, it refers to the original values by reference. Functions works with the original data and changes are made in the original data.
