Function


✅What is a Function?
A function is a reusable block of code that performs a specific task.


Think of a vending machine:
- Input (Parameters): You select a snack (e.g., B3 for chips).
- Process (Function Body): The machine processes your request.
- Output (Return Value): It delivers the chips.



✅Function Components
a) Declaration (Menu)

// Like the vending machine's menu  
int getDrink(int selection);  

- Tells the compiler a function exists.

b) Definition (Machine Internals)

// Like the machine's internal mechanism  
int getDrink(int selection) {  
    if (selection == 1) return COKE;  
    else return WATER;  
}  

c) Call (Pressing the Button)**

int myDrink = getDrink(1);  // Output: COKE  

✅Types of Functions
-Library Function
sqrt(25) (from <cmath>)

-User-Defined
calculateTax(income)

✅Parameter Passing
a) Call by Value (Photocopy)

void printReceipt(int amount) {  
    // Works with a COPY of the original  
    cout << "Amount: " << amount;  
}  

- Like giving a photocopy of your ID – changes don’t affect the original.

b) Call by Reference (Original Document)

void updateBalance(int &account) {  
    account -= 100;  // Modifies the ORIGINAL  
}  

- Like signing the original contract – changes are permanent.

Example:

int wallet = 500;  
updateBalance(wallet);  // wallet becomes 400  

✅Why Use Functions?
Reusability: Like a recipe you reuse (e.g., calculateInterest()).

Modularity: Break problems into smaller parts (e.g., login(), checkout()).

Debugging: Fix one function without breaking others.

✅Exam-Style Example :

// Function to check even numbers  
bool isEven(int num) {  
    return (num % 2 == 0);  
}  

✅Common Mistakes
1.Missing Return Statement:

   int sum(int a, int b) {  
       a + b;  // Error! No return.  
   }  
   

2.Incorrect Parameters:

   void greet(string name) { ... }  
   greet();  // Error! Missing argument.  
   

✅ Real-World Coding Example
Scenario: A coffee shop calculator.

#include <iostream>  
using namespace std;  

// Function to calculate total cost  
float calculateTotal(int coffees, float price) {  
    return coffees * price;  
}  

int main() {  
    int cups = 3;  
    float cost = calculateTotal(cups, 2.5);  
    cout << "Total: $" << cost;  // Output: $7.5  
    return 0;  
}  

Key Insight:
- calculateTotal is like a cashier – you give inputs (cups, price), it returns the result.

1.

Row 3
Column 3

3*3=9 times line x executed

✅Answer :)D

2.

int *p // pointer p hold the address of a variable
int i,k;
i=142;
p=$i // yehe malet p ye i variable address yezewal malet nw

So ye i variable value lemeker ahun just p lay value store maderg nw coz p ye iን location address sle alew easily valueን update yadergewal

*p=143

✅Answer :)D

3.
✅Answer :)C

because if ,if-else,switch are selection statements

4.
Ternary Operation (Short hand of if -else)

if(condition )? True: False;

for example
int x=1
int y=if(x>2)?5:6;

So if x is greater than 2 Y will be 5

else Y will be 6
in this case Y will be 5


12<5 False
3<=5 True
3>2 True

!(F or T and True) ?7:9;
!(T)?7:9;
False ? 7:9;

9

✅Answer :)D

5.

✅Answer B

Array are static so the size must be known at compile time.

6.
Structure declaration

struct name{
datatypes variable_name;
} ;

✅Answer:) A

7.

✅ANSWER:) A

8.
Expect do while all of them check the condition to execute a block of code .

✅Answer :)All

9.

Pass by value is copy is passed

Pass by reference modifie the original value

✅ANSWER:) A

int i, j = 0;
for (i = 33; i >= 3; i -= 7) {  // i decreases by 7 each iteration
    if ((i % 2) || (i / 5 > 2))
        j += i;

✅Answer :)C

int i=5.5,j=8,k;//integer sle hone i=5 nw mehone at compile time

K=--i %j++

output
