Unit 5 Modular Programming
Key Concepts • Input parameters • Output parameters • Pointers • Multiple functions • Identifier scope • Types of testing
Functions with Input Parameters • Data is passed into the function, but cannot be modified by the function. • Example: double getCircum(double radius) { return (2 * PI * radius); } int main(void) { double circum, r; r = 20; circum = getCircum(r); }
Output Parameters • Allow a function to modify the value of one or more address locations • Are parameters defined as pointers to the address location • Example: int *wholep; • Points to the location in memory where the function will store a value
Calling a Function with Output Parameters • Use the address of operator (&) before the name of the variable. • Example: separate(value, &sn, &whl, &fr);

Scope of Names • Constant macros can be used from any line of code after they are referenced • Functions can be accessed any time after their prototype unless their name is "shadowed" by a function parameter with the same name • Formal parameters and variables defined in a function can only be accessed within that function
Scope of Names in Figure 6.8 Table 6.4
Passing an Output Parameter as an Argument • An output parameter is a pointer to a memory location • To pass it to a function as an output parameter, pass it without an operator: void scan_fraction (int *nump, int *dnomp) { char slash; slash = '/' scanf("%d %c%d", nump, &slash, dnomp); }

Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up Testing Top-down testing Bottom-up testing Separately test each function before integration. Create a driver to test the function. Unit testing – testing a function Integration testing – testing the complete program after all functions have been added • Create function stubs to test the main program. • Add each function as it is complete and retest.
