Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 6, Problem 31RQE
Explanation of Solution
“Yes”, the function can have same name for local variable and global variable.
Reason:
In same function, it is not possible to have same name for two local variables. But, it is possible to have the name of global variable as the name of local variable.
- This means the global variable name is hidden by the local variable name.
- That is, the function can access the local variable name, not global variable name.
Example:
// Header section
#include <iostream>
using namespace std ;
//Declare and initialize the global variable
int i =10;
//Define the function prototype
void call();
//Main function
void main()
{
//...

What do you understand by local and global scope of variables? How can you
access a global variable inside the function, if function has a variable with same
name.
what if you want to call global variable with same name as local inside a function? Use global keyword to express code.
How can we pass argument to a function by reference instead of pass by value?
