Why a return function does not return more than one value?

It's by design.


Can a function have more than two return statement?

Yes, there is no limit.


What is the use of pointer?

To point with. 1. To manipulate parts of an array. 2. To return more than value from a function.


Is it possible for a function to return more than one value at a time?

No, you can only return one value with a return statement. However, you can return a structure or pointer, so the real answer is yes, though requiring some added complexity.


What is the difference between instructions and instruction?

instructions means more than 1 instruction (ex.go home and do your homework) but instruction means 1 instruction (ex.do your homework)


How does the compiler interpret more than one definition of the same name?

The compiler disambiguates function overloads by their signatures. A function's signature is defined by its name and its formal parameters, but not the return type. As you probably know, function overloads cannot differ by return type alone, thus the return type does not form any part of the signature. The compiler determines which function to call based upon the arguments that are passed by the individual callers.


What is the need for return statements in c?

It's not so much a need but a requirement. Every C function must contain at least one return statement, typically at the end of the function body (before the closing brace). However, a C function may have more than one return path, and each requires its own return statement. Note that it does not matter whether the function returns a value or not; even a function that returns void must have a return statement. In C++ the rules regarding return statements are more relaxed. Functions that return void do not require a return statement at all; when execution reaches the closing brace of a void function, a return statement is implied. All functions that return a value of any type other than void must have a return statement. The one exception to this rule is the global main function which must always return an int. If the global main function has no return statement then the value 0 is implicitly returned to the calling environment (the value 0 is typically used to indicate no error). However, if we need to return other values (including 0), then we must include a return statement. Functions that have multiple return paths are considered poor style and should be avoided. Functions are generally much easier to read and maintain when there is only one return path which should logically terminate at the very end of the function. However, eliminating multiple return paths can also produce more efficient machine code, particularly in functions with highly complex return paths. Eliminating multiple return paths needn't be difficult, we simply need to refactor the function such that each unique return path is representing by some function which returns the appropriate value. The calling function simply stores that value and returns it at the end of the function, thus simplifying the overall complexity of the calling function. Refactoring complex functions into smaller, simpler function calls is good style in and of itself; well-named, descriptive function calls result in code that is largely self-documenting and thus more abstract. Although function calls are themselves expensive, small and simple functions can be easily inline-expanded by the compiler's optimisers, so it's a win-win.


What are the features of a complex instruction set computer?

It provides more instructions than RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer).


In a function can an input have more than one outputs?

No. If an input in a function had more than one output, that would be a mapping, but not a function.


What is return in programming?

The return statement is used in functions to return control to the caller. If the function is declared non-void, the return statement also allows the programmer to return a value to the caller.


What is a micro-instruction?

microinstruction: An instruction that controls data flow and instruction-execution sequencing in a processor at a more fundamental level than machine instructions. Note: A series of microinstructions is necessary to perform an individual machine instruction.a micro instruction specifies one or more micro oprations for the system.
