I wrote my own program to understand the basic of function calling and passing parameters
I think loop run 10 times in function but if I pass value 6 in main function then it will run only 6 timesCode:#include<stdio.h>void loop (unsigned int i) { for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { } } int main(void) { loop (6); return 0; }
Your function ignores the parameter, and just loops 10 times anyway.
Give your parameter a decent name.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I didn't get your point. Why does it ignores the parameter as per my knowledge when main function call to delay function then loop will run only 6 times. I think if I pass the value 2 in main function then loop will run 2 times. What's wrong in program ?Originally Posted by Salem
Look at your function closely. Do you ever use the value you passed into your function?What's wrong in program ?
what is meaning of this > Do you ever use the value you passed into your function?
if possible can you give example
I wrote this program for understanding calling function
Number : 0Code:#include<stdio.h> void loop (void) { unsigned int count; for (count = 0; count < 10; count++) { printf("Number : %d \n", count); } } int main(void) { loop(); return 0; }
Number : 1
Number : 2
Number : 3
Number : 4
Number : 5
Number : 6
Number : 7
Number : 8
Number : 9
And now imagine if you changed the function to:
What do you think happens? Consider that your function knew how to loop without being passed an argument.Code:void loop (unsigned int count) { // unsigned int count; <-- no longer used for (count = 0; count < 10; count++) { ... } }
Does it make any sense
count : 0Code:#include<stdio.h> void loop (unsigned int number) { unsigned int count; for (count = 0; count < number; count++) { printf(" count : %d \n",count); } } int main (void) { loop(6); return 0; }
count : 1
count : 2
count : 3
count : 4
count : 5
I think I can pass any value
count : 0Code:#include<stdio.h> void loop (unsigned int number) { unsigned int count; for (count = 0; count < number; count++) { printf(" count : %d \n",count); } } int main (void) { loop(6); loop(4); loop(2); return 0; }
count : 1
count : 2
count : 3
count : 4
count : 5
count : 0
count : 1
count : 2
count : 3
count : 0
count : 1

I'm please you got it right eventually.
