Certainly! Let's talk about function parameters in C using simple language:
Function parameters (or arguments) are values that you can pass to a function when you call it. They allow you to provide input to the function so that it can perform its task with specific data.
When you define (or declare) a function, you specify its parameters inside the parentheses. For example:
// Syntax: returnType functionName(parameter1Type parameter1, parameter2Type parameter2, ...)
int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
Here, int a
and int b
are parameters of the add
function. They act like variables that hold the values passed to the function when it is called.
When you call a function, you provide arguments (values) for its parameters. For example:
int result = add(5, 3);
Here, 5
and 3
are arguments passed to the add
function. They will be assigned to the parameters a
and b
respectively when the function is called.
