Modules in C are called functions. C programs are typically written by combining user-created functions and “pre-packaged” functions found in the C Standard Library. For instance, printf() is a function that is found in the C Standard Library and is accessed through the stdio.h header file.
In this week, you are going to focus on creating our own functions. You can create a function that can do any kind of task. For instance, the function may display a message to the screen or compute a value. An example is in the image below.
Example Discussion Topic
Type the above code into Dev C++ and run it. Describe what is happening here. Now, add a new function in this program. Perhaps you want to create a function that displays a message or one that computes a different value such as the area of a circle. DO NOT just change the operation for the add() function and call it another function such as subtraction or multiply. Make sure to upload your code and that it contains the original add function as well as the one you created.
Hi Class,
When modifying the code for this discussion, don’t just rename the existing function; add one or more than one more function.
