Functions has been categorized into 4 different types on the basis of return types and arguments. Those types are as follows:
- with no return value and no argument
- with no return value but with argument
- with return value but no argument
- with both return value and argument
1. with no return value and no argument
This type of function does not have any arguments and have a void return type.
Program of function with no return value and no argument
#include<stdio.h>
void sum()
{
int a = 10, b = 20;
printf("Sum of a and b is = %d\n", a+b);
}
int main()
{
sum();
return 0;
}
output
Sum of a and b is = 30
2. with no return value but with argument
This type of functions contains arguments but have void return type.
Program of function with no return value but with argument
#include<stdio.h>
void sum(int x, int y)
{
printf("sum of a and b is = %d\n", x +y);
}
int main()
{
int a = 10, b = 20;
sum(a, b);
return 0;
}
output
sum of a and b is = 30
3. with return value but no argument
This type of function have return type but does not have any arguments.
Program of function with return value but no argument
#include<stdio.h>
int sum()
{
int a = 10, b = 20;
return a+b;
}
int main()
{
printf("sum of a and b is %d\n", sum());
return 0;
}
Output
sum of a and b is 30
4. with return value and with argument
This type of functions have both return type and arguments.
Program of function with both return value and argument
#include<stdio.h>
int sum(int x, int y)
{
return x+y;
}
int main()
{
int a = 10, b = 20;
printf("sum of a and b is %d\n", sum());
return 0;
}
Output
sum of a and b is 30
