Functions

FUNCTIONS
C enables its programmers to break up a program into segments commonly known as functions, each of which can be written more or less independently of the others. Every function in the program is supposed to perform a well-defined task. Therefore, the program code of one function 
is completely insulated from the other functions.
Every function interfaces to the outside world in terms of how information is transferred to it and how results generated by the function are transmitted back from it. This interface is basically specified by the function name. For example, look 
at below figure which explains how the main() function calls another function to perform a well-defined task.
Fig: main() calls func1()
In the figure, we can see that main() calls a function named func1(). Therefore, main() is known as the calling function and func1() is known as the called function. The moment the compiler 
encounters a function call, the control jumps to the statements that are a part of the called function. 
After the called function is executed, the control is returned to the calling program.
The main() function can call as many functions as it wants and as many times as it wants. For example, a function call placed within a for loop, while loop, or do–while loop may call the same function multiple times till the condition holds true.
Not only main(), any function can call any other function. For example, look at below figure which shows one function calling another, and the other function in turn calling some other function.
Fig : function calling another function

Operations on data structures

OPERATIONS ON DATA STRUCTURES This section discusses the different operations that can be execute on the different data structures before mentioned. Traversing It means to process each data item exactly once so that it can be processed. For example, to print the names of all the employees in a office. Searching It is used to detect the location of one or more data items that satisfy the given constraint. Such a data item may or may not be present in the given group of data items. For example, to find the names of all the students who secured 100 marks in mathematics. Inserting It is used to add new data items to the given list of data items. For example, to add the details of a new student who has lately joined the course. Deleting It means to delete a particular data item from the given collection of data items. For example, to delete the name of a employee who has left the office. Sorting Data items can be ordered in some order like ascending order or descending order depending ...

The Rise of Green Buildings: A Sustainable Future

In an era where climate change and environmental sustainability dominate global conversations, the concept of green buildings has emerged as a pivotal solution. These structures, designed with both ecological and human health in mind, represent a shift towards more sustainable urban development. But what exactly are green buildings, and why are they so important? What Are Green Buildings? Green buildings, also known as sustainable buildings, are structures that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout their life cycle—from planning and design to construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This holistic approach seeks to minimize the negative impact of buildings on the environment and human health by efficiently using energy, water, and other resources. Key Features of Green Buildings Energy Efficiency: Green buildings often incorporate advanced systems and technologies to reduce energy consumption. This can include high-efficiency HVAC sys...
