b. Prayer
c. Checking of Attendance

d. Collecting of Assignment
e. Review

2. Motivation:
Students will play a game called Pinoy Henyo where one student
will guess the word and the other one will be the coach. This will be
played by 3 pairs of students.
B. Developmental Activities
1. Lesson Proper
Functions
Allow to structure programs in segments of code to perform individual
tasks. It was also a group of statements that is given a name, and which can be
called from some point of the program.

Types of C++ functions

Standard functions are groups in different libraries which can be

included in the C++ program.

User-defined functions are groups in which the user provides his
own way to define function.

Defining Function
To define a C++ function, there are two steps (preferably but not
mandatory)
Step #1 declare the function signature in either a header file (.h file) or
before the main function of the program
Step #2 Implement the function in either an implementation file (.cpp) or
after the main function

Syntax to define a function

In C++, a function is a group of statements that is given a name,
and which can be called from some point of the program. The most
common syntax to define a function is:

type name ( parameter1, parameter2, ...) { statements }

Where:

type is the type of the value returned by the function.

name is the identifier by which the function can be called.
parameters (as many as needed): Each parameter consists of a
type followed by an identifier, with each parameter being separated

from the next by a comma.

statements is the function's body. It is a block of statements
surrounded by braces { } that specify what the function actually
does.

Syntactical structure of function

A C++ function consists of two parts

The function header, and

The function body

The function header has the following syntax:

<return value> <name> (<parameter list>)
The function body is simply a C++ code enclosed between { }.
Void Function
A special type to represent the absence of value.

Syntax Structure:
type name ( ) { statements }

2. Application
The teacher will give an activity wherein the student(s) will make
the program run by means of debugging and of right use of syntactical
structure of function.

IV. Generalization
A function is an assignment or a task that must be performed to complement the
other part(s) of a program. There are two kinds of functions: those supplied to you and
those you will be writing. The functions that are supplied to you are usually in three
categories: those built-in the operating system, those written in C++ (they are part of
the C++ language), and those supplied with your programming environment. The use
of these functions is the same regardless of the means you get them; you should
know what a function looks like, how to create one, what functions are already
available, where they are located, and what a particular function does, how and when
to use it.

V. Evaluation

Multiple Choice: Write the letter (uppercase) of the correct answer after
each number.

1. Which of the following function declaration is/are incorrect?

A.

int Sum(int a, int b = 2, int c = 3);

B.

int Sum(int a = 5, int b);

C.

int Sum(int a = 0, int b, int c = 3);

D.

Both B and C are incorrect.

2. What is the return type of the function with prototype: "int func(char x, float v,
double t);"
A. Char
B. Int
C. Float
D. double
3. Which is not a proper prototype?
A. int funct(char x, char y);
B. double funct(char x)
C. void funct();
D. char x();
4. Which of the following function declaration is/are incorrect?
A.

int Sum(int a, int b = 2, int c = 3);

B.

int Sum(int a = 5, int b);

C.

int Sum(int a = 0, int b, int c = 3);

D.

Both B and C are incorrect.

5. Which of the following is a complete function?

A. int funct();

B. int funct(int x) {return x=x+1;}

C. void funct(int) {cout&tl;<"Hello"}
D. void funct(x) {cout<<"Hello"}
