Study Notes
Functions in C++
- A function is a block of code that performs a specific task and can be reused multiple times in a program.
- Functions break down large and complex programs into smaller and more manageable parts.
- Every function has a unique name and can take one or more parameters as input.
Characteristics of Functions
- A function can return a value back to the calling code using the "return" statement.
- The return type of a function is specified before its name.
Benefits of Functions
- Abstraction: Functions allow you to isolate a specific task into a separate block of code, making it easier to understand and manage the program.
- Reusability: Functions can be reused multiple times in a program, which reduces the amount of code duplication and makes the code easier to maintain.
- Modularity: Functions allow you to divide a program into smaller, more manageable parts, making it easier to write, test, and debug the code.
Functions Syntax
- A function consists of a return type, function name, parameters, and function body.
- The return type specifies the data type of the value the function returns.
- The function name and parameter list together constitute the function signature.
- Parameters are optional and can be referred to as actual parameters or arguments.
Function Overloading
- In C++, functions can be overloaded, meaning that multiple functions can have the same name but different parameters.
- This is useful when you need to perform a similar task but with different types of input.
