Answer / prof.gagandeep jagdev
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

What are reserved words with a programming language?
There are N egg baskets and the number of eggs in each basket is a known quantity. Two players take turns to remove these eggs from the baskets. On each turn, a player must remove at least one egg, and may remove any number of eggs provided they all belong to the same basket. The player picking the last egg(s) wins the game. If you are allowed to decide who is going to start first, what mathematical function would you use to decide so that you end up on the winning side?
