Yes. Without prototypes you must ensure all definitions are declared forward of their usage. This isn't always possible. Separating the prototypes from the definitions means you can #include the prototypes forward of their usage, and place the actual definitions anywhere you like.

Why the extension cpp of c?

The extension of a file containing a C program can be any extension, so long as the compiler or platform can infer the proper rules to build it. Commonly, for C programs, the extension is .c, so myfile.c would be a C program. The term cpp is not a designation for C++. It means C Program Precompiler, and it is the normal way to build one or more C programs into an executable. Over the years, cpp has evolved into being able to handle all sorts of languages. C++ is one of them. Typical extensions for C++ programs are .cc, .cpp, and .cxx.

What is prototype in C language?

A prototype in C is the declaration of a function. Without a prototype, the function cannot be called because the compiler would have no way of knowing if the function was being called correctly. Prototypes may appear in multiple translation units but can only be defined once. A definition is itself a prototype.


What is the difference between C and C plus plus prototypes?
