Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 6, Problem 2TF
Explanation of Solution
Function:
Function contains a group of statements which are used to perform a specific task and the executable segments for a
- The function “main()” is the most important function in a program, because the “main()” function is the starting point of the program.
- The main advantage of using a function is that it reuses and reduces the code size of the program, because a function can be called for a multiple numbers of times.
The function is used to simplify the complex mathematical expression. For example,
Set sale_price = regular_price – (regular_price * Discount)
The above statement isn’t easy to understand because it performs too many steps. First it calculates the discount amount then subtracts that value from the “regular_price” and finally assign the result to the “sale_price”...
