    Study Notes

    Built-in Functions

    • Built-in functions are pre-written code provided by the programming language. They automatically perform specific tasks without requiring programmers to write them.
    • Examples include printf() for output in C, len() for string length in Python, and sqrt() for calculating square roots in C++.

    Function Overloading

    • Function overloading in C++ allows multiple functions to have the same name but different parameters. This works by distinguishing functions through their unique parameter lists (number, types, and order of arguments).
    • This feature improves code readability and enhances the flexibility of functions, allowing them to be called with different sets of inputs.

    Default Arguments

    • In C++, functions can be defined with default values for arguments. These defaults are used if the corresponding argument isn't explicitly provided when the function is called.
    • This simplifies function calls and provides flexibility by automatically assigning default values if certain parameters are omitted.

    Function Declaration vs. Definition

    • A function declaration in C++ (also known as a prototype) defines the function’s name, return type, and parameters (types and order). It acts like a blueprint, announcing the function’s existence.
    • A function definition provides the actual code that implements the function's functionality. It includes the function header (declaration) and the body containing the code to be executed.

    Purpose of User-Defined Functions

    • User-defined functions are custom-written code blocks by programmers to encapsulate a specific task or computation.
    • They encourage code reusability, modularity, and readability. Functions break down larger problems into smaller, manageable pieces, promoting better code organization.
