Question 5

The program that calls a
function is often referred
to as the

Answer 5

calling

program.

Question 6

One function that every

C++ program possesses:

Answer 6

int main()

Question 7

is a programmed routine that

has its parameters set by the user of the system

Answer 7

user-defined function

Question 8

are functions that perform
specific tasks within a larger system, such as a database
or spreadsheet program.

Answer 8

User defined functions

Question 9

If the function returns a value then the type of that value must be
specified in

Answer 9

return_type

Question 10

follows the same rules of composition as

identifiers

Answer 10

function_name

Question 11

lists the formal parameters of the function

together with their types.

Answer 11

parameter_list

Question 12

are definitions of variables that are used in the

function_implementation.

Answer 12

local_definitions

Question 13

consists of C++ executable

statements that implement the effect of the function.

Answer 13

function_implementation

Question 14

If the function does not return a value then the return_type

must be

Answer 14

void.

Question 15

. These variables have no meaning outside

the function.

Answer 15

local_definitions

Question 16

There are two main parts of the function:

Answer 16

The
function header and the function body.

Question 17

What ever is written with in { } in the above

example is the

Answer 17

body of the function.

Question 18

provides the basic information about a function which

tells the compiler that the function is used correctly or not.

Answer 18

function prototype

Question 19

contains the same information as the function header

contains.

Answer 19

function prototype

Question 20

can be used to check the calls to the function for the
proper number of parameters and the correct types of
parameters.

Answer 20

function prototype

Question 21

A function that can be made to return a single value to

the calling program is referred to as

Answer 21

non-void function.

Question 22

A function that is written to perform specific task
and return multiple values to calling program are
called

Answer 22

void functions.

Question 23

are variables/values used within the
function call

Answer 23

Actual arguments

Question 24

are variables used within
the function header that receives the copy of the actual argument
values.

Answer 24

formal parameters

Question 25

This means that when calling a function with parameters,
what we have passed to the function were copies of their
values but never the variables themselves.

Answer 25

pass by values

Question 26

somehow passing the variable

itself to the function

Answer 26

pass by reference

Question 27

A function that calls itself is known

as a

Answer 27

recursive function

Question 28

is a function call in
which the function being called is
the same as the one making the
call.

Answer 28

Recursive call

Question 29

is a programming
technique in which procedures and
functions call themselves.

Answer 29

Recursion

A definition in which something is defined in terms of

smaller version of itself.

recursive definition

can be stated non-recursively
The case for which the answer
is explicitly known

Answer 31

base case

Question 32

The case for which the solution
is expressed in smaller version
of itself. Also known as
recursive case.

Answer 32

general case

Question 33

Which is more effective while calling the functions?

Answer 33

call by reference

Question 34

What are mandatory parts in the function declaration?

Answer 34

return type, function name

Question 35

Where does the execution of the program starts?

Answer 35

main function
