Concept and use of user-defined functions in C.
- Estimated study time: 30 minutes
Study resources
- C Functions section - GeeksforGeeks tutorial (Article) — Covers prototypes, definitions, calls and return types with examples. Understanding why a prototype is needed before the call is the key idea here.
- NPTEL - Problem Solving Through Programming in C (functions weeks) (Article) — Teaches functions as a way to decompose a problem rather than just as syntax. That framing matters more than the syntax and is what the course objective explicitly targets.
- User-Defined Function in C (GeeksforGeeks) (Article) — Covers the three parts of using a function - declaration (prototype), definition, and function call - with clear example programs.
- Introduction to Functions in C (Video) — Lecture-style video explaining what a function is, the syntax for defining one in C, and why functions are used to organise code.
- C Programming - Neso Academy (functions and recursion) (Video) — Use the functions and recursion videos in this playlist. Seeing someone trace a recursive call on a whiteboard is far more useful than reading the code.
