Saraswathy  (11 years ago)

A.True

It is not sense to define functions more than once...The compiler cannot identify which function to execute if you define functions more than once... It ll throw an error...
But we can declare functions more than once, but all should be identical...

Ramya  (10 years ago)

TRUE

If it is defined more than one time then it will throw error!

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (2) | No (1)  

Hanish  (10 years ago)

true
as if functions are defined more than once it will throw compile time error....

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (1) | No   

AMBATI LOHIT  (10 years ago)

True
If a function is defined twice or thrice the compiler will not be able to identify which function to execute then an error is encountered

option b is corrrect

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No   

NIKHIL NAGRALE  (8 years ago)

A declaration only tells the compiler how to generate code to call the function. It is okay to tell the compiler the same thing several times(all declarations must be identical).

But a definition results in code to implement the function.With multiple definitions, the compiler will emit multiple copies of the function. Then the linker will see the function defined multiple times and not know which one you are trying to call. So multiple definitions are not allowed.

yes function declaration several .but function name is but argument list is different and data type is different

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No
