| WEEK 4 | ||||||||
| Chapter #3 cont.: Selection via calculation explained with 2 examples.
Chapter#4: Purpose of functions. Motivation - why? Factor – smaller is easier. Reuse - by you or others. Remove redundancy. Protect data – using the variable doesn't change its value. |
||||||||
| Chapter #4: cont.
Types of functions: 1- No parameters - no return value: ex. welcome() , menu_options(). 2- No parameters - with return value: ex. get_input(). |
||||||||
| WEEK 5 | ||||||||
| Chapter#4 cont. Types of functions.
3- With parameters - with return value - Many math.h fx, sin(). 4- With parameters - no return value - printf(), display_results(). What is permitted in main() Function - only local variable definitions, function calls and limited selection or repetition (to call functions). Parameter passing: 1- Pass by value. |
||||||||
