Each formal parameter receives the value of its corresponding actual parameter.CMSC 104, Version 9/01 5Parameter Passing (con’t)•Corresponding actual and formal parameters do not have to have the same name, but they may.•Corresponding actual and formal parameters must be of the same data type, with some exceptions.CMSC 104, Version 9/01 6Local Variables•Functions only “see” (have access to) their own local variables. This includes main( ) .•Formal parameters are declarations of local variables. The values passed are assigned to those variables.•Other local variables can be declared within the function body.CMSC 104, Version 9/01 7#include <stdio.h> float averageTwo (int num1, int num2)float averageTwo (int num1, int num2) ; {int main ( ) float average ;{float ave ; average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0 ;int value1 = 5, value2 = 8 ; return average ; }ave = averageTwo (value1, value2) ;printf (“The average of “) ;printf (“%d and %d is %f\n”,value1, value2, ave) ; return 0 ;}value1 value2 ave num1 num2 average 5 8 int int float int int floatParameter Passing and Local VariablesCMSC 104, Version 9/01 8#include <stdio.h> float averageTwo (int num1, int num2)float averageTwo (int num1, int num2) ; {int main ( ) float average ;{float average ; average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0 ;int num1 = 5, num2 = 8 ; return average ; }average = averageTwo (num1, num2) ;printf (“The average of “) ;printf (“%d and %d is %f\n”,num1, num2, average) ; return 0 ;} num1 num2 average num1 num2 average 5 8 int int float int int floatSame Name, Still Different Memory LocationsCMSC 104, Version 9/01 9Changes to Local Variables Do NOTChange Other Variables with the Same Name#include <stdio.h>void addOne (int number) ; void addOne (int num1) {int main ( ) num1++ ;{ printf (“In addOne: “) ;int num1 = 5 ; printf (“num1 = %d\n”, num1) ;addOne (num1) ; }printf (“In main: “) ;printf (“num1 = %d\n”, num1) ; num1 return 0 ;} int num1 5 OUTPUT int In addOne: num1 = 6In main: num1 = 5CMSC 104, Version 9/01 10Header Files•Header files contain function prototypes for all of the functions found in the specified library.•They also contain definitions of constants and data types used in that library.CMSC 104, Version 9/01 11Commonly Used Header FilesHeader File Contains Function Prototypes for:<stdio.h> standard input/output library functions and information used by them<math.h> math library functions<stdlib.h> conversion of numbers to text, text to numbers, memory allocation, random numbers, and other utility functions<time.h> manipulating the time and date<ctype.h> functions that test characters for certain properties and that can convert case<string.h> functions that manipulate character stringsothers see Chapter 5 of textCMSC 104, Version 9/01 12Using Header Files#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>#include <math.h>int main ( ){ float side1, side2, hypotenuse ; printf(“Enter the lengths of the right triangle sides: “) ; scanf(“%f%f”, &side1, &side2) ; if ( (side1 <= 0) || (side2 <= 0) { exit (1) ; } hypotenuse = sqrt ( (side1 * side1) + (side2 * side2) ) ; printf(“The hypotenuse = %f\n”, hypotenuse) ; return 0
