Mastering Functions in Programming

The purpose of using functions in computer programming is to handle the issue of increasing program length and to avoid repeating code by grouping statements that perform a specific task.

The benefit of creating a function is that it allows us to write the code only once and then simply call the function whenever we need to perform the task.

We can divide the code of a program into separate functions based on logical divisions, where each function performs a specific task.

The function name is the name given to a specific function in computer programming.

Some common terminologies related to functions in C programming include function name, parameter, return type, and function call.

The purpose is to successfully establish a connection between computers and avoid IP conflicts.

An IP address can be assigned manually by a user or automatically by a server.

Most operating systems provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for assigning an IP address.

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and it is a server responsible for assigning automatic IP addresses.

In some server-centric operating systems, users may need to modify system files to assign an IP address.
