variable names in function definition, call and declaration
- by yCalleecharan
Hi, I see C books that use the same variable names in the function definition, calling function and declaration. Others use the same variable names in the calling function and in the declaration/prototype but a different one in the definition as in:
void blabla(int something); //prototype
blabla(something) // calling function inside main after something has been initialized to int
void blabla(int something_else) //definition
I have two questions:
What convention is best to use in C?;
Does the convention apply regardless whether a value is being passed "by-value" or if it's being passed by a pointer?
Thanks a lot...
