Output from int n, char c

Code Understanding

void action(char c,int n) {
cout<<“Output from char c, int n”<<endl;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++) cout<<c;
cout<<endl; }
Function with two data inputs with signature as char as 1st and int as 2nd parameter.

void action(int n,char c) {
cout<<“Output from int n, char c”<<endl;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++) cout<<c;
cout<<endl; }
Function with two data inputs with signature as int as 1st and char as 2nd parameter. So the signature is different and there is not ambiguity in calling a function.

int main() {
action(‘*’,5);
This will call the function with char 1st and int as 2nd parameter

action(5,’*’);
This will call the function with int 1st and char as 2nd parameter

return 0;
}

Notes

• The signature of a function means specification of parameters related to its type, count and exact order from left to right.
• Function with similar data types but different order of parameters may be avoided if it can lead to confusion while implementation.
