Experiment No 3 Function in C

The document describes 4 examples of functions in C without and with arguments and return values. Example 1 defines a function checkPrimeNumber() that takes no arguments and returns no value, it checks if a number is prime and prints the result. Example 2 defines a function getInteger() that takes no arguments but returns an integer value entered by the user. Example 3 defines a function checkPrimeAndDisplay() that takes an integer argument but returns no value, it checks if the argument is prime and prints the result. Example 4 defines a function checkPrimeNumber() that takes an integer argument and returns an integer value indicating whether the argument is prime or not.

Experiment no 3

Title: Program for study of Functions using C

Example 1: No Argument Passed and No Return Value


#include <stdio.h>

void checkPrimeNumber();

int main() {
checkPrimeNumber(); // argument is not passed
return 0;
}

// return type is void meaning doesn't return any value


void checkPrimeNumber() {
int n, i, flag = 0;

printf("Enter a positive integer: ");


scanf("%d",&n);

// 0 and 1 are not prime numbers


if (n == 0 || n == 1)
flag = 1;

for(i = 2; i <= n/2; ++i) {


if(n%i == 0) {
flag = 1;
break;
}
}

if (flag == 1)
printf("%d is not a prime number.", n);
else
printf("%d is a prime number.", n);
}

The checkPrimeNumber() function takes input from the user, checks whether it is a prime number or
not, and displays it on the screen.
The empty parentheses in checkPrimeNumber(); inside the main() function indicates that no argument is
passed to the function.

The return type of the function is void. Hence, no value is returned from the function.
Example 2: No Arguments Passed But Returns a Value
#include <stdio.h>
int getInteger();
int main() {

int n, i, flag = 0;

// no argument is passed
n = getInteger();

// 0 and 1 are not prime numbers


if (n == 0 || n == 1)
flag = 1;

for(i = 2; i <= n/2; ++i) {


if(n%i == 0){
flag = 1;
break;
}
}

if (flag == 1)
printf("%d is not a prime number.", n);
else
printf("%d is a prime number.", n);

return 0;
}

// returns integer entered by the user


int getInteger() {
int n;

printf("Enter a positive integer: ");


scanf("%d",&n);

return n;
}

The empty parentheses in the n = getInteger(); statement indicates that no


argument is passed to the function. And, the value returned from the function
is assigned to n .
Here, the getInteger() function takes input from the user and returns it. The
code to check whether a number is prime or not is inside the main() function.
Example 3: Argument Passed But No Return Value
#include <stdio.h>
void checkPrimeAndDisplay(int n);

int main() {

int n;

printf("Enter a positive integer: ");


scanf("%d",&n);

// n is passed to the function


checkPrimeAndDisplay(n);

return 0;
}

// return type is void meaning doesn't return any value


void checkPrimeAndDisplay(int n) {
int i, flag = 0;

// 0 and 1 are not prime numbers


if (n == 0 || n == 1)
flag = 1;

for(i = 2; i <= n/2; ++i) {


if(n%i == 0){
flag = 1;
break;
}
}

if(flag == 1)
printf("%d is not a prime number.",n);
else
printf("%d is a prime number.", n);
}

The integer value entered by the user is passed to


the checkPrimeAndDisplay() function.
Here, the checkPrimeAndDisplay() function checks whether the argument passed
is a prime number or not and displays the appropriate message.
Example 4: Argument Passed and Returns a Value
#include <stdio.h>
int checkPrimeNumber(int n);
int main() {
int n, flag;

printf("Enter a positive integer: ");


scanf("%d",&n);

// n is passed to the checkPrimeNumber() function


// the returned value is assigned to the flag variable
flag = checkPrimeNumber(n);

if(flag == 1)
printf("%d is not a prime number",n);
else
printf("%d is a prime number",n);

return 0;
}

// int is returned from the function


int checkPrimeNumber(int n) {

// 0 and 1 are not prime numbers


if (n == 0 || n == 1)
return 1;
int i;
for(i=2; i <= n/2; ++i) {
if(n%i == 0)
return 1;
}

return 0;
}

The input from the user is passed to the checkPrimeNumber() function.


The checkPrimeNumber() function checks whether the passed argument is prime or not.
If the passed argument is a prime number, the function returns 0. If the passed
argument is a non-prime number, the function returns 1. The return value is assigned to
the flag variable.
Depending on whether flag is 0 or 1, an appropriate message is printed from
the main() function.
