Can Anyone Please Tell Me "what Is Prototype?"
Hi,

Prototypes are just a way to tell the compiler what a function is without actually defining the function or method.

In some program,
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. void fun(char *str, int count = 0); //This is prototype
  2.  
  3. int main()
  4. {
  5. ....whatever....
  6. }
  7.  
  8. void fun(char *str, int count)
  9. {
  10. ...function...
  11. }
Hope this helps.
Regards
