Sub programs

• What are subprograms used for in programming?

  To save time and simplify code
• What is the main difference between functions and procedures?

  Functions always return a value
• How can procedures and functions help avoid repeating code?

  By storing instructions under one name
• What do high-level programming languages typically include?

  Common procedures and functions
• What does the max() function return?

  The highest value from a set of numbers
• If you want to create a string from a variable x, which function would you use?

  str(x)
• What do most subprograms contain?

  Parameters and arguments
• What are parameters in subprograms used for?

  To pass values into a subprogram
• What are arguments in subprograms?

  The actual values passed to parameters
• How do procedures carry out a set of instructions?

  By executing the instructions when called
• What do arguments represent in a subprogram?

  The actual values used in the call
• What happens when a subprogram is called?

  It executes the set of instructions
• How can you specify a default value for a parameter in a subprogram?

  By defining it in the subprogram's declaration
• Why is it important to understand parameters and arguments?

  They determine how data is passed to subprograms
• What do procedures help to avoid in programming?

  Repeating code
• What is the purpose of the str() function?

  To convert a value to a string
• If you want to find the maximum value from a list, which function would you use?

  max()
• How do functions differ from procedures in terms of return values?

  Functions always return a value, procedures do not
• What is a common feature of high-level programming languages?

  They include common procedures and functions
• What is the role of parameters in a subprogram?

  To define the input values for the subprogram
• How can you use the max() function with a set of numbers?

  By passing the numbers as arguments
• Why is it beneficial to use subprograms in programming?

  They enhance code readability and maintainability
• What do you need to know about parameters and arguments?

  What they are and how they are used
• What is the significance of the return value in functions?

  It provides output from the function
• How do you create a procedure in a programming language?

  By defining a set of instructions under a name
• How do you determine the actual values taken by parameters?

  By examining the arguments passed during the call
• What is the purpose of the str() function in programming?

  To convert values to strings
• What do you need to know about the parameters of a subprogram?

  How to define and use them
• How can you use the max() function effectively?

  By providing a list of numbers
• What is the relationship between procedures and functions?

  Both are used to organize code, but functions return values
