Question
Chapter 5.2, Problem 10STE
Program Plan Intro
void Functions:
- A function must either return a single or no value at all.
- A function that would not return a value is termed as “void” function.
- The “void” function is been defined in same way as function that would return a value.
- It implements only subtask for complete problem.
- If a “void” function is called, formal parameters are substituted with arguments.
- The statements in function body are executed.
- The “return” statement specifies value that is been returned.
Call-by-Reference:
- It is a method for substituting arguments.
- The corresponding argument is substituted for formal parameter.
- The argument for a function call might be a variable.
- This argument variable is substituted for formal parameter.
- It is similar to copying of argument variables into function definition body in place of formal parameter.
- The code in function body is executed once argument is substituted.
- This code can change argument variable value.
- The ampersand sign (&) is attached to end of type name in formal parameter list in both function declaration as well as function header definition.
Call-by-value:
- It copies the actual value of an argument into function’s formal parameter.
- The changes made to parameter inside function have no effect on argument.
- This method is used in default in programs.
- The code within a function could not alter arguments used for calling function.

Write the definition of a void function that takes as input two parameters of type int, say sum and testScore the function updates the value of sum by adding the value of testScore. The new value of sum is reflected in the calling environment.
The Issue: You have a function that accepts a variety of parameters. It is impractical to provide them as traditional parameters. So, what are you going to do?
How we can pass the function pointer as a parameter give example.

- Write a void function definition for a function called final_grade that has two formal parameters, both of which are variables of type double. current_grade which is the grade of the student and bonus , which is the bonus added in percentage. This function takes the current grade of a student and updates the grade by adding a bonus to it. So if the student's current grade is 98 , and the professor applies 3% bonus, the updated grade would be : 98 (1 + 0.03) = 100.94 --- > This value should be dropped to a 100 , the highest acceptable grade is a 100.arrow_forwardFor Assignment 5, you will design and write a program that covers the following topics: Functions, Vectors, Structures, and Classes.
