Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of dividing a program into functions?

  • To optimize memory usage
  • To reduce the size of the codebase
  • To enable parallel execution of tasks
  • To create a more manageable program (correct)

    • Which statement best describes a function call in programming?

  • It combines several functions into a single callable unit
  • It defines the behavior of a function and its return type
  • It specifies the function name and provides necessary arguments (correct)
  • It creates a new function to replace existing ones

    • How many times is a function definition typically written in a program?

  • Only once (correct)
  • Once for each variable type
  • Twice for accuracy
  • As many times as it is called

    Study Notes

    Functions: Divide and Conquer

    • Programs are built from smaller, more manageable components called functions that work together.
    • Functions can be thought of as a "boss" (the calling function) instructing a "worker" (the called function) to perform a task and return the results.

    Program Components in C++

    • C++ programs combine new functions with functions from the C++ standard library, which provides a wide range of pre-written functions.
    • Functions are invoked using a function call.
    • A function call includes the function name and any arguments the function needs.
    • Function definitions are written only once and are hidden from other functions. This resembles the boss/worker analogy, where the boss doesn't need to know how the worker completes the task, only that it's done.

    Math Library Functions

    • The math library provides functions for common mathematical operations.
    • The header file <cmath> must be included to use math library functions.
    • Functions are called by writing functionName(argument).
    • For instance, cout << sqrt(c); calls the sqrt function to calculate the square root of c.
