Caller and callee relate to function calls. The caller is the code point that made the call to a function while the function is the callee. The callee returns control to the caller via the return address that was pushed onto the stack by the caller.

void foo() {}

int main() { foo(); }

In the minimal example above, the main function is the caller while the foo function is the callee.

What is the difference between passing by value and passing by difference?

Passing by value is where you pass the actual value (be it an integer, an array, a struct, etc.) to a function. This means that the value must be copied before the function is called and therefore the value in the caller cannot be modified within the callee. Passing by reference is where a reference/pointer to a value is passed to a function. The reference often takes up less space than copying the actual value (particularly when the value is a struct or an array) and allows you to manipulate the value in the caller within the callee.


What is argument in c plus plus?

If this is a homework assignment, please consider trying to answer it yourself first, otherwise the value of the reinforcement of the lesson offered by the assignment will be lost on you.An argument (or parameter) in C or C++ is a special variable that is passed to a function when it is called. In the example...float sin(float x);... the x is an argument. Within the body of the function, x refers to the copy of the caller's argument that was passed to the function.


Can you declare a method within a method in c or c plus plus?

C: there are no methods in C. C++: no.


What is c plus c plus c in its simplest form?

In its simplest form, the expression "c plus c plus c" can be simplified by combining like terms. Since there are three instances of "c," it can be expressed as 3c. Thus, the simplest form is 3c.


What is callback function in c?

In computer programming, a callback is executable code that is passed as an argument to other code. It allows a lower-level software layer to call a function defined in a higher-level layer. Usually, the higher-level code starts by calling a function within the lower-level code passing to it a pointer or handle to another function. While the lower-level function executes, it may call the passed-in function any number of times to perform some subtask. In another scenario, the lower-level function registers the passed-in function as a handler that is to be called asynchronously by the lower-level at a later time in reaction to something. A callback can be used as a simpler alternative to polymorphism and generic programming, in that the exact behavior of a function can be dynamically determined by passing different (yet compatible) function pointers or handles to the lower-level function. This can be a very powerful technique for code reuse. Callback functions separate the caller from the callee, the caller doesn't care who the callee is For complete understanding we need to know about Function pointers in c. check the link below

What is the difference between caller save and callee save registers in terms of their impact on program performance and efficiency?

Caller save registers are saved and restored by the calling function, while callee save registers are saved and restored by the called function. Caller save registers can lead to faster function calls but may require more instructions to save and restore values. Callee save registers can lead to slower function calls but may result in better overall program efficiency by reducing the need for saving and restoring values frequently.
