Function Call by Name in C Programming Language
C Language
A function in C language is a block of code that performs a specific task. It has a name and it is reusable i.e. it can be executed from as many different parts in a C Program as required. It also optionally returns a value to the calling program
So function in a C program has some properties discussed below.
-
Every function has a unique name. This name is used to call function from “main()” function. A function can be called from within another function.
-
A function is independent and it can perform its task without intervention from or interfering with other parts of the program.
-
A function performs a specific task. A task is a distinct job that your program must perform as a part of its overall operation, such as adding two or more integer, sorting an array into numerical order, or calculating a cube root etc.
-
A function returns a value to the calling program. This is optional and depends upon the task your function is going to accomplish. Suppose you want to just show few lines through function then it is not necessary to return a value. But if you are calculating area of rectangle and wanted to use result somewhere in program then you have to send back (return) value to the calling function.
C language is collection of various library functions. If you have written a program in C then it is evident that you have used C’s inbuilt functions. Printf, scanf, clrscr etc. all are C’s inbuilt functions. You cannot imagine a C program without function.
Structure of a Function
A general form of a C function looks like this:
<return type> FunctionName (Argument1, Argument2, Argument3……)
{
Statement1;
Statement2;
Statement3;
}
An example of function.
int sum (int x, int y)
{
int result;
result = x + y;
return (result);
}

Function Prototype and Function Definition in C Programming
Function prototype is very simple concept but the word (prototype) we use to call it makes it difficult to new C programmer to understand. In simple word, function prototype tells compiler that we are going to use a function which will have given name, return type and parameters. It’s that simple.
Function definition on the other hand is just writing logic of any function. For example you have one function prototype in C program for adding two integer numbers (i.e. int add(int, int)) but along with prototype you also have to write logic how that function will behave (respect to above prototype; how you will utilize those two passed integer value and how you will return value) when you will call that function.
Let’s take look at example for better and clear understanding:
Function Prototype and Function Definition Example
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void myFunction();
int add(int, int);
void main()
{
clrscr();
myFunction();
printf("\n\n%d",add(10,15));
getch();
}
void myFunction()
{
printf("This is inside function :D");
}
int add(int a, int b)
{
return a+b;
}
Explanation
Now we have a simple C program to demonstrate function prototype and function definition concept. We will start from line no. 4 & 5. In these two lines we have function prototype, line no. 4 has a simple function prototype which doesn’t have parameters or return type. It’s very simple to declare a prototype, see line no. 17 & 4, both line are same except prototype requires semicolon (;) at the end. Code block (line no. 17-20) is function definition for our first function prototype (i.e. line no. 4). In this block we are defining behavior of that function and in my code it’s just printing a simple message for demonstration.
Similarly we have second function prototype (line no. 5) and it has parameters and return type. Code block (line no. 22 – 25) is definition of above function prototype. One important point for function prototype having parameters; in prototype, variable name for parameters is optional (see line no. 5). There is no variable name for int parameters, its (int, int). But in that prototype’s function definition you must provide parameter variable name (see line no. 22). We have (int a, int b) parameter name.
One more important thing, if you writing function definition above main() function then you don’t need to write prototype of that function. But it’s a good practice to keep all the functions below main() function.
Advantages of using functions:
There are many advantages in using functions in a program they are:
- It makes possible top down modular programming. In this style of programming, the high level logic of the overall problem is solved first while the details of each lower level functions is addressed later.
- The length of the source program can be reduced by using functions at appropriate places.
- It becomes uncomplicated to locate and separate a faulty function for further study.
- A function may be used later by many other programs this means that a c programmer can use function written by others, instead of starting over from scratch.
- A function can be used to keep away from rewriting the same block of codes which we are going use two or more locations in a program. This is especially useful if the code involved is long or complicated.
Types of functions:
A function may belong to any one of the following categories:
- Functions with no arguments and no return values.
- Functions with arguments and no return values.
- Functions with arguments and return values.
- Functions that return multiple values.
- Functions with no arguments and return values.
Note : You can find details about different types of function in C language, click here read it now.
Example of function calling in C
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void add(int x,int y)
{
int result;
result = x+y;
printf("Sum of %d and %d is %d.\n\n",x,y,result);
}
void main()
{
clrscr();
add(10,15);
add(55,64);
add(168,325);
getch();
}
Program Output
Explanation
Before I explain, let me give you an overview of above c program code. This is a very simple program which has only function named “add()” . Calling this C function from “main()” is very simple. This “add()” function takes two values as arguments, adds those two values and prints the result.
Line 3-8 is a function block of the program. Line no. 3 is the header of function, void is return type of function, add is function name and (int x, int y) are variable which can hold integer values to x and y respectively. When we call function, line no. “12, 13, 14”, we need to send two integer values as its argument. Then these two values get stored in variable x and y of line no. 3. Now we have two values to perform addition; in line no. 5 there is an integer declaration named “result”. This integer will store the sum of x and y (please see line no. 6). Line no. 7 simply prints the result with C’s inbuilt function “printf”.
Now imagine the same program without using function. We have called “add()” function three times, to get the same output without using function we have to write Line no. 6 & 7 three time. If you want to add more value later in the program then again you have to type those two lines. Above example is a small and simple program so it does not appear great to use function. But assume a function consist 20 – 30 or more lines then it would not be wise to write same block of code wherever we need them. In such cases functions come handy, declare once, use wherever you want.

why function is need in any programming language?
@Sweta : function is can ease ur programming. U don't need to write same piece of code again & again if u r using same code. only function call will do. As u can see in my example I have call add() thrice otherwise i had to write all three lines in main() again & again. It would also difficult to maintain readability.

I want more information about functions.
sir je please give me ans what is c++ and c and visual basic
Thanks for the above function example,i find it very useful
is there ncessary declaration of functions in c? if we dont declare the functions tnen it will give error message?
hi richa, i think u should read this article carefully to understand function concept. if a c program does not have function then it is not necessary that it will give u error, its a feature and depends on u whether u want to use it or not.
Very nice website it is
aoa sir piz send examples of functions and difference between calling function and declare function
it is simply
and its example is very superb.
THANKU

here we can must say that without function when we can doing progarm then it is very lengthy, function is veri useful fof increae execution speed of progarm,
it is also useful for built a system software during 2 sem i had taken good experience. so,function is one type of block statement which is user want that what will be want.

Hi,some doubts..
why do u write getch() in void main()?
How do u realize whether your function should return a value?
Thanks..
hi,
its very useful...
thanks alot.
hi, mr.raj
am asking: 1. what is prototype?
can explain other way plz.
2. call by value,call by reference ?
please explain the program, how the execution will done:

Types of functions:
A function may belong to any one of the following categories:
Functions with no arguments and no return values.
Functions with arguments and no return values.
Functions with arguments and return values.
Functions that return multiple values.
Functions with no arguments and return values.plz explain it
@Biplab: You can find that information here http://rajkishor09.hubpages.com/_gsm/hub/Types-of-
itzzzz amazing raj..i dint really knew anything abt functions.the way u arrange things with numbering of each line and their link to other line is simply incredible.if i become a gr8 s/w engg,i wud surely say u were the man behind me..i wud be pumped if i cud meet u..,i live in hosur which is quite near to urs..giv ur mob.no to this pls..praveenvenugopal24@yahoo.com...plzzzzzzz...
@Pravin : Thanks for your nice comments, it really gives motivation to write more tutorials when friends like you appreciate. By the way we can become friends on facebook, in my profile I have provided link. Take care and happy learning.............
m asking 1 que.....

SOMEWHAT CLEAR
code for the print the longest word written in a line using udf...plzz reply fast...
it is very useful thanx to give us brief knowledge
its very helpful for me thanks
thanks sir it was amazing.
thanks dude
hi!sir could you please give me an idea to make this program!!
1. Write a program that determines whether a positive integer is a prime number. A prime number is a number that can only be evenly divided by 1 and itself. The program should contain the function,isPrime, and returns 1 if the integer is a prime number and return 0 if otherwise.
differentiate between call by value and call by referance while calling a function
very good who have posted this
Thank you this is really very helpful for me. Thanks again.
can you help me to solve this program

I love c language thanks to chetan vyas sir. mai kuch mahine pahale c me kuch bhi nahi janta tha aur aaj mai program ache se kar leta hu jiska pura shrey chetan sir ko jata hai jisne itni mehanat ke sath mujhe padaya aur mujhe guide kiya thanks sir.
can you help me to do this?
i cant get the output, but there's no mistakes in my coding.
'write a program that ask the user to enter a temperature reading in centigrade and then prints the equivalent Fahrenheit value. It then ask the user to enter a Fahrenheit value and prints out the equivalent centigrade value. Run the program several times. Be sure to include at least one negative temperature reading in your test cases. Provide separate functions as needed by your design.Your main function should have only function calls. The input, Fahrenheit=100, Celsius=36.9 '
Hope you can help me.. thank you!
it's very easy and helpful solution of function . i like it
it's easy example for explain. sorry ,but i am weak in c.
i hope you can helped me.
please give me 'c' notes.
thank you.
that's call function definition.Very good function describe and give the examples.
If you want you can check types of function tutorials also....
good explanation
its verry-verry helpful for me.....
sir i ask
Dear sir,want to know about data abstraction in c++.sir I cannot understand it .I think that data abstraction also occur in c language also sir please helpme and please tell me your book of c++ link

thank you so much...
Dear Raj, many thanks for a clear exposition of each theme.
I didn't see an example for something similar to what I am trying to code.
I am using a Pic 18F2550 and the C18 c0mpiler.
The program itself is very simple in structure.
************************************
NTC thermistor -- 18F2550 -- LCD 44780
************************************
Yes a thermometer.
You explained some very important things to me. I program quite well in Pic Assembler but you helped me see.
1. What in C is named as a function, It is named as a subroutine in assembler
2. The assembler program usually has a MAIN which basically "call" a set of subroutines.
You showed me the Call word is not need in C, naming the subroutine is sufficient
3. Just one little problem .
In the above thermometer example, before you can send data to the LCD, you need to Initiate with a series of set up commands.
This is a ONE TIME block of code.
Then after that the following functions are
executed.
sequence then is
0. Initiate
1. Read NTC resistance do 10bit voltage to Resistance conversion..
2.Do maths to convert the resistance to temperature
3. Send temperature to the LCD
4. Go back to 1. for the next temperature reading.
I'm thinking this is a loop , an infinite while(1) loop only broken by an out of range voltage.
Then print resistance error.
I'll keep on reading your C seminar to see if you think something like this could be of general interest.
My best wishes

yar main ny jitny b functions waly programs try kiye hain koi b nai chala hi... sir your program is also dont working so give me some more examples. with full syntex. thanx
what is the differece between formal and actual arguments?
0
thanks, it help me to understand function . but give more example for better understanding
What is the difference between calling a function by value and by reference?
