Functions and Parameters C++ - Reading Assignment

@ivan

Welcome to the discussion about the reading assignment about Functions and Parameters C++.

Leave your answers to the questions below in this thread. If you have any questions or you want to discuss something connected to the assignment feel free to do it in this thread as well, but please everything to the topic.

1. What is a function parameter?
2. Why do functions need parameters?

1. It is a variable used in a function. They work almost identically to variables defined inside , but they’re always initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function. They’re derived inside the function declaration by placing them in between brackets after the identifier.

2. Parameters inside functions help improve code readability and manages complexity by reusing code. Instead of writing two separate functions, it is possible to combine the two by using parameters.

1. A function parameter is a variable used by the function. Its value is provided by the caller of the function
2. Function parameters are not mandatory. They can be used to pass information to the function.

1. What is a function parameter?

It is a variable you pass tot he function as an argument. The function can then use this variable to do calculations and return a value.

2. Why do functions need parameters?

This way a function can do a lot more, based on what the user inputs.

1. What is a function parameter?
2. Why do functions need parameters?

1. A function parameter is a variable used in a function. Function parameters work almost identically to variables defined inside the function, but with one difference, they are always initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function.

2. functions needs parameters to give a function specific intructions.

1. A variable that the function calls the value to.

2. To store data.

[sbelka1703]

1. Function parameters are variables that are provided as arguments by the user

2. Functions take parameters and use them as information in the function.

[RealitySchematic]

1. What is a function parameter?
   A variable used in a function, placed within the parentheses
2. Why do functions need parameters?
   So functions can use input given by the dev or by the user

   A function parameter is a variable used in a function. Function parameters work almost identically to variables defined inside the function, but with one difference: they are always initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function.

2. Why do functions need parameters?
   To create functions that have some sort of input.

[Konzaih]

1.) A variable used in a afunction. Are always initialized with a value provided by caller.
2:) To be able to pass information to another functions.

[Kippie]

1. A function parameter is a variable that is used in a function, and has it’s value initialized by the caller of the function.
2. Parameters aren’t required with functions, but they do give needed flexibility with processing data through a series of instructions

1. What is a function parameter?
2. Why do functions need parameters?

1. Function parameters are variables used inside functions .

2. It is useful when the caller can input those values , because it makes the function more flexible and easier to use .

What is the difference in building C++ Function Libraries for Crypto-Blockchains compared to building them for MLOps channels? Also, can you use Python to build Crypto Blockchains?

[Alko89]

You can build a blockchain in any language. You have many bitcoin implementations online. Bitcoin core is just the most commonly used.

[SmartboyML_AI]

@Alko89, then does that mean we can use solidity or vyper to build Smart Contracts and use any language to build Blockchains? Does that mean we can use JS to build Blockchains, and before you say JS is a scripting language, I just wanted to confirm if it was possible or not…lol

[Alko89]

Why would a scripting language made any difference, except offer crappy performance? There is a JS node we are using in out Bitcoin Programming course, its called Bcoin.

You can also have a look at this videos:

[SmartboyML_AI]

@Alko89, thanks very much for providing the github repository for Bcoin. I have started doing a little research on this JS node used in Bitcoin Programming, and I might have come across a few back-doors that I would try discussing with you when my research is completed. Once again, thank you very much for your support.

[Alko89]

We mostly just use the nodes libraries to develop a multisig tx and don’t really use it as a node. But sure let me know. You can also open them an issue on Github if you consider it critical.

[SmartboyML_AI]

@Alko89 ahhhhhh, that makes sense now. If the nodes libraries are only used to develop multisig tx and not used as a node, then the backdoors I noticed are just red-herrings. Thanks very much for the clarification, it is duly appreciated

1. A function parameter is a variable used in a function
2. When functions have parameters they have a defined variable that can then be referenced in the program.
