In this HackerRank Functions in C programming problem solution,In this challenge, you will learn simple usage of functions in C. Functions are a bunch of statements grouped together. A function is provided with zero or more arguments, and it executes the statements on it. Based on the return type, it either returns nothing (void) or something.
A sample syntax for a function is
return_type function_name(arg_type_1 arg_1, arg_type_2 arg_2, ...) {
...
...
...
[if return_type is non void]
return something of type `return_type`;
}
For example, a function to read four variables and return the sum of them can be written as
int sum_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) {
int sum = 0;
sum += a;
sum += b;
sum += c;
sum += d;
return sum;
}
+= : Add and assignment operator. It adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
a += b is equivalent to a = a + b;
Task
Write a function int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) which reads four arguments and returns the greatest of them.
HackerRank Functions in C programming problem solution.
#include <stdio.h> /* Add `int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d)` here. */ int main() { int a, b, c, d, m1, m2; scanf("%d %d %d %d", &a, &b, &c, &d); int ans = (m1=a>b?a:b)>(m2=c>d?c:d)?m1:m2; printf("%d", ans); return 0; }
Second solution
#include <stdio.h> /* Add `int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d)` here. */ int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) { int max = 0; if(max <= a) max = a; if(max <= b) max = b; if(max <= c) max = c; if(max <= d) max = d; return max; } int main() { int a, b, c, d; scanf("%d %d %d %d", &a, &b, &c, &d); int ans = max_of_four(a, b, c, d); printf("%d", ans); return 0; }
