Question

Given:

  x = MyFunc(2); 

My understanding:

The variable x is assigned to the function MyFunc(2).

First, MyFunc( ) is called. When it returns, its return value if any, is assigned to x.?

Answer 1

This cannot be answered completely without:

• x’s declaration
• MyFunc’s declaration
• MyFunc’s definition

But your sentence “When MyFunc(2) is called it returns the value 2 to x” is wrong. MyFunc is invoked and 2 is passed as the actual parameter value. MyFunc may return anything, which is then assigned to x.
