Answers to questions on calling a function
Consider our example from the notes:
#include <stdio.h>
void PrintTwo(int Val1, int Val2) {
/* Print 2 ints on a line */
printf("%d %d \n",Val1,Val2);
}
int Larger(int IVal1,int IVal2) {
/*Return the larger of 2 ints*/
if (IVal1>IVal2) return IVal1;
return IVal2;
}
void main() {
int X;
X = -100;
PrintTwo(X,Larger(X,200));
}
Plain text to compile and run.
- Would it be legal to write Larger(4,6); as a statement on its own?
Yes, it is an expression ended by a semi-colon and so can be used as a statement.
- Would it be legal to write X = Larger(X,200);
Yes, it is quite legal to assign the result to a variable also used as a parameter.
- What would the output be when running the example? Try compiling and
running it to check.
-100 200
