Document Summary
01:198:111 intro to computer science / professor gunadawerna. This technique divides a large problem into simpler, smaller problems to be solved in an easier way. Procedures, functions, methods these terms do refer to different forms of functions; however, there isn"t much difference and can be seen as same things . The main function should be placed underneath all other functions, in one file. Usually, people use either function or method (in one atom program file) Those bunch of sub-functions is called library all together. The main function actually doesn"t do anything special other than testing out if the other sub-functions work or not . How the functions are evaluated in run-time stack: When you call the function ( ex. calculatepayment()) by putting in local variables (as known as acutal arguments) in the parameter, the run-time stack makes a. Calling the calculatepayment function: calculatepayment( [a double], [a double], [an int] )
