Abstract
A function is a collection of program statements. Functions are an essential tool for creating modularity within a program by discretising a large complex program into a series of separate units. The function helps a programmer to organise a program and at the same time to reduce program size and develop reusable code. A programmer’s life without the function would be unbearable.
If you think writing software is difficulty try rewriting software. B. Meyer (1995)
