The task is to demonstrate the different syntax and semantics provided for calling a function. This may include:
|
|
* Calling a function that requires no arguments
|
|
* Calling a function with a fixed number of arguments
|
|
* Calling a function with [[Optional parameters|optional arguments]]
|
|
* Calling a function with a [[Variadic function|variable number of arguments]]
|
|
* Calling a function with [[Named parameters|named arguments]]
|
|
* Using a function in statement context
|
|
* Using a function in [[First-class functions|first-class context]] within an expression
|
|
* Obtaining the return value of a function
|
|
* Distinguishing built-in functions and user-defined functions
|
|
* Distinguishing subroutines and functions
|
|
* Stating whether arguments are [[:Category:Parameter passing|passed]] by value or by reference
|
|
* Is partial application possible and how
|
|
|
|
This task is ''not'' about [[Function definition|defining functions]].
