Question Discussion & Solution

Functional cohesion:

A module is said to possess functional cohesion, if different functions of the module co-operate to complete a single task.

Example of Functional cohesion

A module containing all the functions required to manage employees’ pay-roll displays functional cohesion

int add (int a, int b=12) // formal argument
{
return a + b;
}
main()
{ 
int c;
c = add (10, 20);
printf("c = %d", c);
}

In this Program Add function is following the call by value mechanism so that value cannot be called outside the function So the answer will be a+b = 10+ 20 = 30
