  • What function is run first of all in a C++ program?

main. The main function is run first in a C++ program.

  • What are return values?

When the called function ends, the CPU returns back to the point it bookmarked, and resumes execution.

  • Are nested functions allowed in C++?

No. They are allowed in other programs such as JavaScript but not in C++.

Return statement can also return a value to the calling function if its not void. :slight_smile:

  1. Its a reusable sequence of statements designed to do a specific job.
  2. main(){yourcode}
  3. the value (returned) from a function.
  4. no; functions have to be written before the main() function.

  1. A sequence of statements written in code, which can be reused during code execution.
  2. The main() function
  3. Reurn values are values which are returned to the calling function. They may be used in expressions or they can be assigned.
  4. Unlike other object-oriented languages such as Javascript and PHP, nested functions are not executable in C++

  2. main()

  3. The return value is the output value following the execution of a function.

  4. No in C++ nested functions are not permittable. Function cannot run inside other functions.

What is a function?
A function is a reusable sequence of statements designed to do a particular job.

What function is run first of all in a C++ program?
The function that is run first when deploying a C++ program is main()

What are return values?
A value returned when a function is finished executing. The return type is defined in the function signature.

Are nested functions allowed in C++?
No. Nesting, or a function inside another function, is not supported.

1. What is a function?

  • A function is a reusable sequence of statements designed to do a particular job.

  • Functions provide a way for us to split our programs into small, modular chunks that are easier to organize, test, and use.

2. What function is run first of all in a C++ program?

  • Every program must have a function named main, which is where the program starts execution when it is run.

3. What are return values?

  • When you write a user-defined function, you get to determine whether your function will return a value back to the caller or not. To return a value back to the caller, two things are needed.

  • First, your function has to indicate what type of value will be returned. This is done by setting the function’s return type, which is the type that is defined before the function’s name.

  • Second, inside the function that will return a value, we use a return statement to indicate the specific value being returned to the caller. The specific value returned from a function is called the return value. When the return statement is executed, the return value is copied from the function back to the caller. This process is called return by value.

4. Are nested functions allowed in C++?

  • Nested functions are not supported. Functions cannot be defined inside other functions.

1.A function is a reusable sequence of statements designed to do a particular job.

  1. The Main Function is the First Function Run.

  2. The return value is related to the function type. The return must be the same as the type, example int must return and integer. Void has no return.

  3. Nested Functions are not allowed.

Nice I always like reading your answers. They are so inclusive and it seems like you put a lot of work into them. Great Job!

1: A reusable sequence of statements designed to do a particular job.
2: The main is run first to actually run the program you are working in.
3: When calling a function you are getting back the return value of that function. the value must be specified beforehand to return a value type to you.
4: No a function cannot be defined in another function.
