Performative Function - the thing and perform what the person say
User-defined functions are functions that are not provided by the language itself. They are the functions that you yourself write or that are provided for you by a third-party.

The functions of language in society are quite diverse. The main role language plays is to give identity and is also used for communication purposes.
Most of todays programming languages were created by open source community, and usually are still maintained by them.
The language itself has no functions at all. All functions are either provided by a library or are user-defined. The C89 standard library has fewer than 200 functions but C99 has a few more. Although the standard library is considered part of the language, the library and the language are physically separate. However, the language does have built-in operators like sizeof() that are function-like. But unlike actual functions which are evaluated at runtime, these operators are evaluated at compile time.
According to linguist W. P. Robinson, the functions of language are marking emotional states, personalities, social identity, and relationships, as well as regulating social encounters and identifying social class. These functions were outlined in his 1972 book Language and Social Behavior.
Language has a variety of functions. Some of these include apologizing, asking a question, as well as expressing one's personal wishes.
