Design issues for functions

DESIGN ISSUES FOR FUNCTIONS
The following design issues are specific to functions:
  1. Are side effects allowed?
  2. What types of values can be returned?
  3. How many values can be returned?
1. Functional Side Effects: Because of the problems of side effects of functions that are called parameters to functions should always be in-mode (actual to formal parameter).
This requirement of in mode parameter passing prevents a function from causing side effects through its parameters.

  1. An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a coworker
    who had been doing a little research on this.

    And he actually bought me dinner due to the fact that I found it for him…

    lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
    But yeah, thanks for spending the time to discuss this subject here on your site.!
