[edit] DefinitionFunctions, also known as subroutines, procedures, or methods, are groups of computer code that can be declared once and then reused throughout a program, saving programming time and reducing the size of the binary executable. They are similar to mathematical functions, in that they can receive input, process that input, and produce a calculated result. However, computer subroutines are more sophisticated, with the ability to do anything normal computer code can do. [edit] UsageGenerally functions should be any piece of code found in more than one place. They can also be used for organizational purposes when a programmer wants to break a very long function into smaller pieces. [edit] See Also |
