Program Plan Intro

Function:

  • Function is a part or block of code.
  • These become the important tools to build a complicated program.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
write a program which consists of a user defined function task
Predefined functions are less efficient than those that are defined by the user.
Functions allow us to group instructions and assign them a label (the name of the function) and refer to this label  anywhere in the program where the action implemented by the function is required. Describe at least 2 different uses of functions in the construction of a program. Reference two problems from the assignments that illustrate these uses.
