Functions in C
Problem Statement :
Objective: In this challenge, you will learn simple usage of functions in C. Functions are a bunch of statements grouped together. A function is provided with zero or more arguments, and it executes the statements on it. Based on the return type, it either returns nothing (void) or something. A sample syntax for a function is return_type function_name(arg_type_1 arg_1, arg_type_2 arg_2, ...) { ... ... ... [if return_type is non void] return something of type `return_type`; } For example, a function to read four variables and return the sum of them can be written as int sum_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) { int sum = 0; sum += a; sum += b; sum += c; sum += d; return sum; } += : Add and assignment operator. It adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand. a += b is equivalent to a = a + b; Task: Write a function int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) which reads four arguments and returns the greatest of them. Note: There is not built in max function in C. Code that will be reused is often put in a separate function, e.g. int max(x, y) that returns the greater of the two values. Input Format: Input will contain four integers - a,b,c,d , one on each line. Output Format: Print the greatest of the four integers. Note: I/O will be automatically handled.
Solution :
Solution in C :
#include <stdio.h>
int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) {
int max = 0;
if(max <= a) max = a;
if(max <= b) max = b;
if(max <= c) max = c;
if(max <= d) max = d;
return max;
}
int main() {
int a, b, c, d;
scanf("%d %d %d %d", &a, &b, &c, &d);
int ans = max_of_four(a, b, c, d);
printf("%d", ans);
return 0;
}

View Solution →Tree: Height of a Binary Tree
The height of a binary tree is the number of edges between the tree's root and its furthest leaf. For example, the following binary tree is of height : image Function Description Complete the getHeight or height function in the editor. It must return the height of a binary tree as an integer. getHeight or height has the following parameter(s): root: a reference to the root of a binary
View Solution →Tree : Top View
Given a pointer to the root of a binary tree, print the top view of the binary tree. The tree as seen from the top the nodes, is called the top view of the tree. For example : 1 \ 2 \ 5 / \ 3 6 \ 4 Top View : 1 -> 2 -> 5 -> 6 Complete the function topView and print the resulting values on a single line separated by space.
View Solution →Tree: Level Order Traversal
Given a pointer to the root of a binary tree, you need to print the level order traversal of this tree. In level-order traversal, nodes are visited level by level from left to right. Complete the function levelOrder and print the values in a single line separated by a space. For example: 1 \ 2 \ 5 / \ 3 6 \ 4 F
