Let us take an example:
main() // Here main()---> Calling Function because it is calling calsum { int a,b,c,sum; //------> Actual Parameters printf("Enter values of a, b & c"); scanf("%d %d %d",&a,&b,&c); sum=calsum(a,b,c); printf("Sum = %d",sum); } calsum(x,y,z) //x,y,z-----> Formal parameters, calsum ---> Called Function { // because it is called by some other function int d; d=x+y+z; return(d); }
