FUNCTIONS AND POINTERS UNIT - 5 FUNCTIONS AND POINTERS
FUNCTION Functions is a sub-program that contains one or more statements and it performs some task when called.
Types Functions Pre-Defined Functions User-Defined Functions
Pre-Defined Functions The pre-defined functions or library functions are built-in functions. The user can use the functions, but cannot modify the function. Example: sqrt()
User-Defined Functions The functions defined by the user for their requirement are called user-defined functions. Whenever it is needed, The user can modify the function. Example: sum(a,b)
Advantage of User-Defined Functions The length of the source program can be reduced. It is easy to locate error. It avoid coding of repeated instructions.
Elements of User-Defined Function Function declaration Function definition Function call
Function Syntax datatype function_name (parameters list) { local variable declaration; ………………………… body of the function; return(expression); }
How Function Works Once a function is called the control passes to the called function. The working of calling function is temporarily stopped. When the execution of called function is completed then the control return back to the calling function and execute the next statement.
Parameters Actual Parameter These are the parameters transferred from the calling function to the called function. Formal Parameter These are the parameters which is used in the called function.
return Statement The return statement may or may not send some values to the calling function. Syntax: return; (or) return(expression);
Function Prototypes Function with no arguments and no return values. Function with arguments and no return values. Function with arguments and return values. Function with no arguments and with return values.
Function with no arguments and no return values Here no data transfer take place between the calling function and the called function. These functions act independently, i.e. they get input and display output in the same block.
Example #include <stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() //calling function { void add(); add(); } void add() //called function int a,b,c; printf("\nEnter two number:"); scanf("%d%d",&a,&b); c=a+b; printf("\nSum is:%d",c);
Output Enter two number:3 4 Sum is:7
Function with arguments and no return values Here data transfer take place between the calling function and the called function. It is a one way data communication, i.e. the called program receives data from calling program but it does not return any value to the calling program.
Example #include <stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int a,b; void add(int,int); printf("\nEnter two number:"); scanf("%d%d",&a,&b); add(a,b); } void add(int x,int y) //function with arguments int z; z=x+y; printf("\nSum is:%d",z);
Output Enter two number:2 4 Sum is:6
Example #include <stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int a,b; void add(int a,int b); printf("\nEnter two number:"); scanf("%d%d",&a,&b); add(a,b); } void add(int x,int y) //function with arguments int z; z=x+y; printf("\nSum is:%d",z);
Output Enter two number:2 4 Sum is:6
Function with arguments and return values Here data transfer take place between the calling function and the called function as well as between called function and calling function . It is a two way data communication, i.e. the called program receives data from calling program and it return some value to the calling program.
Example #include <stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int a,b,c; int add(int,int); printf("\nEnter two number:"); scanf("%d%d",&a,&b); c=add(a,b); printf("\nSum is:%d",c); } int add(int x,int y) int z; z=x+y; return(z);
Output Enter two number:6 7 Sum is:13
Function with no arguments and with return values Here data transfer take place between the called function and the calling function. It is a one way data communication, i.e. the called program does not receives data from calling program but it return some value to the calling program.
#include <stdio. h> #include<conio #include <stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int add(),d; d=add(); printf("\nSum is:%d",d); } int add() //function wit no argument { int a,b,c; printf("\nEnter two number:"); scanf("%d%d",&a,&b); c=a+b; return(c);
Output Enter two number:5 8 Sum is:13
Parameter Passing Methods Call by value Call by reference
Call by value Actual argument passed to the formal argument. Any changes to the formal argument does not affect the actual argument.
Example #include <stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int x,y,change(int,int); printf("\nEnter value of x:"); scanf("%d",&x); printf("\nEnter value of y:"); scanf("%d",&y);
change(x,y); printf("\n\nValues in the Main()-->x=%d,y=%d",x,y); } int change(int a,int b) { int c; c=a; a=b; b=c; printf("\nValues in the Fuction -->x=%d,y=%d",a,b);
Output Enter value of x:5 Enter value of y:6 Values in the Fuction -->x=6,y=5 Values in the Main()-->x=5,y=6
Call by reference Instead of passing value, the address of the argument will be passed. Any changes to the formal argument will affect the actual argument.
Example #include <stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int x,y; int change(int*,int*); printf("\nEnter value of x:"); scanf("%d",&x); printf("\nEnter value of y:"); scanf("%d",&y);
change(&x,&y); printf("\n\nValues in the Main()-->x=%d,y=%d",x,y); } int change(int *a,int *b) { int c; c=*a; *a=*b; *b=c; printf("\nValues in the Function -->x=%d,y=%d",*a,*b);
Output Enter value of x:5 Enter value of y:6 Values in the Function -->x=6,y=5 Values in the Main()-->x=6,y=5
Recursion It is a process of calling the same function itself again and again until some condition is satisfied. Syntax: func1() { ……….. func1(); }
Example #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int a; int rec(int); printf("\nEnter the number:"); scanf("%d",&a); printf("The factorial of %d! is %d",a,rec(a)); }
int rec(int x) { int f; if(x==1) return(1); else f=x*rec(x-1); return(f); } Output: Enter the number:5 The factorial of 5! is 120

Pointer Declaration Syntax data-type *pointer-name; data-type - Type of the data to which the pointer points. pointer-name - Name of the pointer Example: int *a;
Accessing Variable through Pointer If a pointer is declared and assigned to a variable, then the variable can be accessed through the pointer. Example: int *a; x=5; a=&x;
Example #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int x=5; int *a; a=&x; printf("\n The Value of x = %d",x); printf("\n The Address of x = %u",&x); printf("\n The Value of a = %d",a); printf("\n The Value of x = %d",*a); }
Output The Value of x = 5 The Address of x = 8758 The Value of a = 8758
Example: #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int y=10; int *a; a=&y; printf("\n The Value of y = %d",y); printf("\n The Address of y = %u",&y); printf("\n The Value of a = %d",a); printf("\n The Address of a = %u",&a); }
a y Variable Value Address 5001 10 8000 5001
Output The Value of y = 10 The Address of y = 5001 The Value of a = 5001 The Address of a = 8000
Null Pointer A pointer is said to be null pointer if zero is assigned to the pointer. Example int *a,*b; a=b=0;
Pointer to Pointer Here one pointer stores the address of another pointer variable. Example: int x=10,*a,**b; a=&x; b=&a;
b a x Variable Value Address 8000 5001 10 9000 8000 5001
Example #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int a=10; int *b,**c; b=&a; c=&b; printf("\n The Value of a = %d",a); printf("\n The Address of a = %u",&a); printf("\n The Value of b = %d",b); printf("\n The Address of b = %u",&b); printf("\n The Value of c = %d",c); printf("\n The Address of c = %u",&c); }
Output The Value of a = 10 The Address of a = 5001 The Value of b = 5001 The Address of b = 8000 The Value of c = 8000 The Address of c = 9000
Pointers and Functions Call by Value Call by Reference
Call by value Actual argument passed to the formal argument. Any changes to the formal argument does not affect the actual argument.
Example #include <stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int x,y,swap(int,int); printf("\nEnter value of x:"); scanf("%d",&x); printf("\nEnter value of y:"); scanf("%d",&y);
change(x,y); printf("\n\nValues in the Main()-->x=%d,y=%d",x,y); } int swap(int a,int b) { int c; c=a; a=b; b=c; printf("\nValues in the Function -->x=%d,y=%d",a,b);
Output Enter value of x:5 Enter value of y:6 Values in the Function -->x=6,y=5 Values in the Main()-->x=5,y=6
Call by reference Instead of passing value, the address of the argument will be passed. Any changes to the formal argument will affect the actual argument.
Example #include <stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int x,y,change(int*,int*); printf("\nEnter value of x:"); scanf("%d",&x); printf("\nEnter value of y:"); scanf("%d",&y);
change(&x,&y); printf("\n\nValues in the Main()-->x=%d,y=%d",x,y); } int change(int *a,int *b) { int c; c=*a; *a=*b; *b=c; printf("\nValues in the Function -->x=%d,y=%d",*a,*b);
Output Enter value of x:5 Enter value of y:6 Values in the Function -->x=6,y=5 Values in the Main()-->x=6,y=5
Pointer to Array The elements of the array can also be accessed through a pointer. Example int a[3]={2,3,7}; int *b; b=a;
Example: #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int a[3]={2,3,7}; int *b; b=a; printf("\n The Value of a[0] = %d",a[0]); printf("\n The Address of a[0] = %u",&a[0]); printf("\n The Value of b = %d",b); }
b a[0] Variable Value Address 8744 2 9000 8744
Output The Value of a[0] = 2 The Address of a[0] = 8744 The Value of b = 8744
Example #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int a[5]={2,3,7,9,10}; int i; for(i=0;i<5;i++) printf("\n The Value of a[%d] = %d",i,a[i]); printf("\n The Address of a[%d] = %u",i,&a[i]); }
Array Value Address 2 3 7 9 10 a[0] a[1] a[2] a[3] a[4] 8724 8726 8728 8730 8732
Output The Value of a[0] = 2 The Address of a[0] = 8724
Example #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int a[5]={1,2,3,4,5}; int i,sum=0; int *b; b=a; for(i=0;i<5;i++) sum=sum + *b; b++; //b=b+1 } printf("\n The Sum is %d",sum);
Output The Sum is 15
