Yes. All functions in Excel have brackets and the ones that have arguments must have them within the brackets. Not all functions have arguments, but they still have to have the brackets. This distinguishes them for other things in Excel that have names. So it is possible to have a name called Average.

How do you call a function named my function?

In most languages, you can't have names with space, for functions, variables, etc. Assuming your function is called myFunction, the usual way to call it is: myFunction() This assumes the function requires no parameters. If the function does require parameters, the parameters will be included within parentheses.

What is the c plus plus program to calculate the area of a circle using function overloading?

Function overloading is used when you want to re-use the same function name with different argument types or a different number of arguments. Calculating the area of a circle isn't the sort of function that requires overloading since the only argument you need is the radius. double area_of_circle (const double radius) { const double pi=4*atan(1); return pi*radius*radius; }

What is a number next to a parenthesis?

The Answers community requires more information for this question. It could be a multiplicand for whatever is in the parenthesis, for example, 3(2x + 5) = 6x + 15 or it could represent the value of a function for a specific argument, for example if f(x) = 6x + 7 then f(3) = 6*3 + 7 = 25. There are other possible answers.


In cases ROUND(219.890)CEILING(219.890) the output will be 220?

In order to get 220 for each of those, another argument must be added to each function. For the ROUND function, you could specify the number of decimal places: =ROUND(219.890,0) CEILING requires that you specify the amount of significant digits, so we need 1. =CEILING(219.890,1)
