Q

What happens when we call a function?

A
  • We create a stack frame for it

- Add the frame to the stack

17
Q

What does the stack frame hold?

A

The instructions to execute in the calling function when the function ends

Hardware information
Register Values
Parameters for the function
Space for local variables in the function

18
Q

What happens when a function ends?

A

The stack frame for the function is removed from the call stack, so all the information disappears.

19
Q

How are startup information values provided to the program?

A

It’s provided as parameters to main()

One parameter to say how many items are passed to your program

One array of strings to hold all of the items passed to your program

20
Q
