Functions, void, return, The Call Stack,Arguments, Parameters, Call by Value, Scope, Returning Data

Invoking Functions:

The void keyword for invoking functions(when define a funciton):

Define and call a function:

 

 

The return key in function(when we need the function return something to the main):

 

The order of function definition:

We can also define the function after the main function.(notice the semicolon is required when using this order)

 

Stack Frame

Multiple Function Calls:

Function Parameters

(Allowing input into a function)

Calling with Arguments

 

Multiple Parameters

Use the comma to separate the parameters.

 

 

This function control: How many lines to print... How many spaces between the bars...What a bar looks like...What a space be looks like

notice the different style of variables when defining

Should notice that: the variable only accessible in local function. K cannot be used directly by main function, and the variables in main function cannot also used directly by called function (we only copy the data into the called function)

 

 

 

The Global Scope (should avoid using.)

Variables can be declared outside of functions:

 

But the lifespan of variables will be too long(variables will be available in other functions), will cause unpredictable bugs!

 

Returning Data from a Function

Notice: When designing, each function is a separate flowchart & When designing, each function is a separate Input-Process-Output table
