Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 4, Problem 31PS
Explanation of Solution
Given: The statement, “a function should do only one thing�.
To find: The meaning of the statement, “a function should do only one thing�.
Solution:
In the concept of functional cohesion, there are mainly three reasons, which are correctness, maintainability, and reusability. These three reasons make it easy to reuse, debug, or to correct the code whenever it is required...

- Why do you need to include function prototypes in a program that contains user-defined functions? (5)arrow_forward(Numerical) Heron’s formula for the area, A, of a triangle with sides of length a, b, and c is A=s(sa)(sb)(sc) where s=(a+b+c)2 Write, test, and execute a function that accepts the values of a, b, and c as parameters from a calling function, and then calculates the values of sand[s(sa)(sb)(sc)]. If this quantity is positive, the function calculates A. If the quantity is negative, a, b, and c do not form a triangle, and the function should set A=1. The value of A should be returned by the function.arrow_forwardExplain the purpose of a function parameter. What’s the difference between a parameterand an argument?arrow_forward
- . What is the difference between a function argument and a function parameter? Group of answer choices An argument is a variable that is created in a function to hold a value that has been sent to it and a parameter value is the value that a function returns to the calling routine. An argument is a value that is passed into a function and a parameter is variable that the function defines to hold value of the argument. An argument is a value that is passed into a function and a parameter is the value that a function returns to the calling routine. A parameter is a value that is passed into a function and an argument is the value that a function returns to the calling routine.arrow_forwardMark the following statements as true or false: To use a predefined function in a program, you need to know only the name of the function and how to use it. a. b. A value-returning function returns only one value. Parameters allow you to use different values each time the function is called. C. When a return statement executes in a user-defined function, the function immediately exits. A value-returning function returns only integer values. A function that changes the value of a reference parameter also changes the value of the actual parameter. d. e. f. A variable name cannot be passed to a value parameter. g. J€ a C++ function does not use parameters, parentheses around the h. empty parameter list are still required. In C++, the names of the corresponding formal and actual parameters i. must be the same.arrow_forwardComputer Science Python question Describe what happens to x when supplying a function with ** within a function call, as in function1(**x).arrow_forward
