No, it is not possible to define any function within a
function. However we can call a function from within
another function.

Answer / aparna
no....we cant define a function with in another
fn......Insteadwe can declare a function..
ex:
void main()
{
int fun(int); // this is declaration
fun(3); // this is fn. calling
}
int fun(int a) //this is fn.definition
{
}

Answer / shailender
We can do nesting of functions. I tried in GCC.
check this keyword auto does the magic.
int main()
{
func1();
}
func1()
{
int i = 0;
auto func2()
{
i = 10;
printf("Heloo i am func 2\n");
}
printf("Heloo i am func 1\n");
}
However it seems to me that there is no use of doing this
if you want to call func2 you can't do it from out side func1.

Answer / nimish salve
yes it is possible to define a function inside function.but only in optimized compiler like GCC,DEV C and not in turbo c,visual c++.
try this code
#include<stdio.h>
void fun1(void)//function definition 1
{
printf("Inside fun1\n");
void fun2(void)//function definition for 2nd function
{
printf("Inside fun2\n");
}
fun2();//function call
}
int main()
{
printf("Inside Main\n");
fun1();//function call
return 0;
}
try in both GCC and TurboC and get your answer

Answer / shiva
No.
in g++ you will be clearly notified that you can't define a
function inside another function
but gcc somehow allows following
#include <stdio.h>
int func2(int (*f)()){
(*f)();
return 0;
}
int main ()
{
int func1 ()
{
printf ("\n Inside func 1 ");
return 0;
}
printf("someting");
func1 (); //you can access this fuction inside
main(the function in which you declared func1) with the name
func1
func2(func1); // to access this function outside use
fucntion pointer as a argument
return 0;
}
o/p:
something
Inside func 1
Inside func 1
