CMU CS Academy Unit 2 Part 2: Functions W/ No or More Parameters

What happens when a function expecting two parameters is called with only one argument?

• The function executes with default values for missing parameters.

• The function automatically adds the missing parameter.

• The function ignores the missing parameter and executes.

• An error message is displayed indicating a missing argument.

How can you modify a function to accept an additional parameter for size?

• By declaring a global variable for size.

• By adding a default size value inside the function.

• By calling the function with a size argument.

• By including size in the function's parameter list.

What happens if you call a function with more arguments than it has parameters?

• An error message is displayed.

• The extra arguments are ignored.

• The function automatically updates to include new parameters.

• The function chooses the most relevant arguments.

What is the result of calling a function with arguments in the wrong order?

• The arguments are swapped to match the parameter order.

• The function executes normally, ignoring the order of arguments.

• An error message is displayed due to incorrect argument order.

• The function automatically corrects the order of arguments.

What must be true for a function call to execute without errors when it has multiple parameters?

• The arguments must be provided in any order.

• Only the first argument is required; others are optional.

• The number and order of arguments must match the parameters.

• The function can be called without any arguments.

What does it mean when a function is described as 'expandable' in terms of parameters?

• It can only expand its parameters within a certain limit.

• It can accept an unlimited number of parameters.

• It can be called without specifying any parameters.

• It can reduce its parameters based on the function call.

Why is it necessary to maintain the correct order of arguments in a function call?

• To prevent syntax errors in the code.

• To ensure the function executes with the intended logic.

• To make the code easier to read and understand.

• To comply with programming language standards.

How do you call a function that has no parameters?

• By specifying null for each expected parameter.

• By not using parentheses in the function call.

• By leaving the parentheses empty when calling it.

• By providing default arguments in the call.

What is the consequence of removing all parameters from a function?

• Increases the function's flexibility.

• Allows the function to accept any number of arguments.

• Limits the function to a single, specific action.

• Makes the function execute faster.

Can a function with parameters be modified to have no parameters?

• No, removing parameters will cause the function to stop working.

• Yes, but it will require default values for the removed parameters.

• No, once a function has parameters, it cannot be changed.

• Yes, but it will then perform a single, specific task.
