C++ Functions: Presented by Kathryne Tarrayo and Jester Tiu

This document discusses functions in C++. It defines a function as a segment of code that performs a specific task. There are two types of functions: library/built-in functions and user-defined functions. User-defined functions allow programmers to define their own code segments. A user-defined function consists of a name, body, return value, parameters, and arguments. Library functions are pre-written functions in C++ libraries that can be directly called without defining.

C++ Functions

◇ Presented by Kathryne Tarrayo and Jester Tiu


What is a Function?
Function
In programming, function refers to a segment
that groups code to perform a specific task.

Depending on whether a function is


predefined or created by programmer; there
are two types of function:

1. Library Function / Built-in Function


2. User-defined Function
User-Defined Function
C++ allows programmer to define their own function.

A user defined function groups code to perform a


specific task and that group of code is given a
name(identifier).

When the function is invoked from any part of program,


it all executes the codes defined in the body of function.
“
int main() function1();

{
statement;
function1();
return;
function2(); function3();
statement
function2(); statement
statement; function3();

function4(); return; return;


statement;
function4();

return 0;

} return;
User-defined Function
It consist of the following:

Function Names,
Function Body,
Return Values,
Parameters,
Arguments
return_type function_name ( parameter list )

Function Name − This is the actual


name of the function. The function

“
name and the parameter list together
constitute the function signature.

Parameters − A parameter is like a


placeholder. When a function is
invoked, you pass a value to the
parameter. This value is referred to as
actual parameter or argument. The
parameter list refers to the type, order,
and number of the parameters of a
function. Parameters are optional; that
is, a function may contain no
parameters.
“ Function Body − The
function body contains a
collection of statements that
define what the function
does.
function_name variable_name

Calling function − To use a function, you

“
will have to call or invoke that function.
When a program calls a function,
program control is transferred to the
called function.
variable_name

Return Statement − A

“
function may return a value.
Some functions perform the
desired operations without
returning a value.
“
“
Library function
Library function
• Library functions are the built-in function in C++
programming.
• Programmer can use library function by invoking
function directly; they don't need to write it
themselves.
• Completely debugged, efficient and always
produce a precise output.
• We need not to declare and define these functions
as they are already written in the C++ libraries
such as iostream, cmath etc.
• Can directly call when needed.

Examples of built-in functions
