Function definition
- The function definition is a set of statements written to perform a specific task.
- The function definition helps us to specify what and how the operation is performed.
- The definition of the function is not terminated by semicolon.
- The function definition can be given either above or below the calling function (main function).
- If the definition of the function is given above the calling function [main ()] then giving function declaration becomes optional.
