In this chapter, you learn about functions: how to define them, how to use arguments and return values, and how to use pointer variables as function arguments. You find out about function types, ANSI C prototypes , and recursion.
How do you organize a program? C's design philosophy is to use functions as building blocks. You've already relied on the standard C library for functions such as printf() , scanf() , getchar () , putchar () , and strlen() . Now you're ready for a more active role: creating your own functions. You've previewed several aspects of that process in earlier chapters, and this chapter consolidates your earlier information and expands on it.
