1. Inline Functions

2. #include <iostream> using namespace std; float calc_iq( const float hatsize, const int age, const float num_feet); inline float square(const float x) {return x*x;} void some_other_function (char broiled, float other_stuff);
int main() {
float y = square (6.2);
return 0; }

return 0; }

5. When and Why You will inline a function only if it is relatively small
Reduces some of the overhead cost of calling a function
With the function being called once, twice, or even 1000 times, the speed up will almost certainly not be noticed
