Function calling itself is known as recursion. In recursion, a function solves a problem by dividing it into smaller, more manageable subproblems of the same type. Each recursive call typically works towards a base case, which stops the recursion to prevent infinite loops. Properly implemented, recursion can simplify complex problems, such as navigating data structures like trees.

What is the difference between the calling function and called function?

Function calling is when you call a function yourself in a program. While function invoking is when it gets called automatically.For example, consider this programstruct s{int a,b,s;s(){a=2;b=3;}void sum(){s=a+b;}};void main(){struct s obj; //line 1obj.sum(); // line 2}Here, when line 1 is executed, the function(constructor, i.e. s) is invoked.When line 2 is executed, the function sum is called.


What is function parameters?

whatever the variables we declare in function signature to receive the arguments at the calling that are known as parameters.. e.g. int sum(int a,int b); here a & b are known as parameters.....

What is 5 equal to in the equation 154a-5?

154a - 5 is not an equation, as there is no relation between two unknowns, or an unknown or a known. But to answer your question, 5 is always equal to 5, except when 5 is a constant function, in which case it is a function which is always equal to 5, but is not 5 itself - because 5 itself is a scalar while the function 5 is a function.


The process by which a green plant makes its own food is included in the life function known as?

The process by which a green plant makes its own food is known as photosynthesis, which is a life function called autotrophic nutrition. In photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, their primary source of energy.


In C plus plus How does a function pass control back to the calling function?

The calling code pushes the return address onto the call stack. When the function returns, it pops the return address off the call stack and returns control to that address. The call stack (or simply the stack), is also used to pass parameters to functions and to receive return values from functions, as well as for local storage, evaluation, and the this pointer when calling class member functions. Functions that call other functions, or that recursively call themselves, will increase consumption of the call stack accordingly. This is known as winding, because the return addresses will remain on the stack until the function is ready to return (even if the function calls itself or another function), thus allowing functions to automatically unwind. In other words, it's a bit like leaving a trail of breadcrumbs (as per the Hansel & Gretel fairytale) allowing functions to retrace their steps back to the original call site and, ultimately, back to the main function.

DNA replicates as part of cell division, during which it is (obviously) replicating itself in the process known as mitosis.
