NOTE :

1. Variables passed in function definition are called as formal parameters or formal arguments and values passed in function call are called as actual arguments.

2.Functions defined with return statement are called as fruitful functions and functions defined without return statement are called as void functions,these functions does not remember the value once the use of variables is served
