User Defined Functions

The document discusses user defined functions in C programming, outlining the difference between library functions and user defined functions, how to write functions in C, and providing demonstrations of functions with no arguments/return values, functions with arguments but no return values, and functions with arguments and return values. It also lists key topics covered such as introducing functions, writing functions in C, and understanding usage through demonstrations.

Introduction to C Functions
Function
• Function is a group of statements which performs a specific
task.
• It is also known as Sub-routine or Procedure or Method.

There are two types of C functions:


• Library Functions (also known as System defined function)
• User defined functions (written by programmers)
Introduction to C Functions
Library Functions: These are functions provided by the
developer of C language. They are in-built with the C
language.

Examples of Library Functions:

• printf()
• scanf()
• getchar()
• sqrt()
• pow()
Introduction to C Functions
Library Functions – Demonstrations
/*C program to show use of sqrt() Library Functions. This program demonstrate use of
two library functions:
--> sqrt()
--> printf()
*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
void main()
{
float ans;
ans = sqrt(100);

printf("The square root of 100 is %f.", ans);


}
Output
The square root of 100 is 10.000000.
Introduction to C Functions
User Defined Functions: The functions developed by the
programmers or users are known as User Defined Functions.
• The names given to user defined functions must be different
from the names of Library functions.
• Note that main( ) is a special type of user defined function in C
language.

Examples of User Defined Functions:


• FindAverage()
• DisplayMenu()
• DrawLine()
• GenerateReport()
• PrintLine()
