Let’s create new bigger patterns
Take a, b, c as input and print the following pattern:
a = 3, b = 4, c = 5

Let’s change the code!
What if we we want to make a same pattern for
numbers?
A lot of code change! Duh!!!
Can we do it in a better way?

Syntax for Functions
Wrapping the logic under a name
function_name {

Syntax for Functions
The need for arguments
function_name(int a, int b, int c) {
// function body
}
Syntax for Functions
The need for a return type: Understanding with
example
<void/int/float> function_name(int a, int b, int c) {
// function body
}
ReturnType:

State TRUE or FALSE :
1) The variables commonly used in C++ functions are
available to all the functions in a program. False
2) To return the control back to the calling function we
must use the keyword return. True, but not for void
resicality
3) The same variable names can be used in different
functions without any conflict. True
State TRUE or FALSE :
4) Every called function must contain a return
statement. False
5) A function may contain more than one return
statements. True. Only one hit.

6) Each return statement in a function may return a
different value. True

What if we are able to store or pass the actual
address inside functions?
