#include<conio.h>


void main()

{

    clrscr();

    printf("Demonstrating use of \\n \\t \\r and \\b\n\n");

    

    printf("Use of \\n: \\n is used to add a new line.\n");

    printf("line1.\nline2.\n\n");

    

    printf("Use of \\t: \\t is used to add the horizontal tab.\n");

    printf("word1\tword2\n\n");

    

    printf("Use of \\r: \\r is used to bring the cursor to the beginning of the line.\n");

    printf("olleH World!\rHello\n\n");

    

    printf("Use of \\b: \\b is used to bring the cursor one step back.\n");

    printf("Hello World!\b#");

    getch();

}


Output:

Demonstrating use of \n \t \r and \b


Use of \n: \n is used to add a new line.

line1.

line2.


Use of \t: \t is used to add the horizontal tab.

word1    word2


Use of \r: \r is used to bring the cursor to the beginning of the line.

Hello World!


Use of \b: \b is used to bring the cursor one step back.

Hello World#

Function prototype and definition

Function Prototype: A function prototype is also known as a function declaration. A function declaration tells the compiler about a function name and how to call the function. It defines the function before it is being used or called. A function prototype needs to be written at the beginning of the program. Syntax: return-type function-name ( arg-1, arg-2, ... ); Example: void addition( int, int ); Function Definition: A function definition defines the functions header and body. A function header part should be identical to the function prototype. Function return type Function name List of parameters A function body part defines function logic. Function statements Syntax: return-type function-name( arg-1, arg-2, ... ); {         //... function body } Example: void addition( int x, int y) {     printf("Addition is = %d ",(x+y)); } Drafted on 🌏 by, Jal ☮ peace

Actual and Formal Parameters

User-defined Function: User-defined is a function that is not part of a library but is defined by the user itself. Actual Parameters: Values that are passed to the called function from the main function are known as Actual parameters. Actual parameters are also called "Arguments". Formal Parameters: The variables declared in the function prototype or definition are known as Formal parameters. Example: Actual parameters: void main() {      int a=5, b=6;     add(a, b); } Here "a" and "b" are actual parameters in the call add(a, b). Formal parameters: void add( int x, int y) {     printf("Addition is = %d",(x+y)); } Here "x" and "y" are formal parameters in the statement void add( int x, int y). When a method is called, the formal parameter is temporarily "bound" to the actual parameter. Drafted on 🌏 by, Jal ☮ peace
