GFact | C standard C99 allows inline functions and variable-length-arrays Last Updated : 18 Oct, 2023 Improve Improve Like Article Like Save Share Report The C standard C99 allows inline functions and variable-length-arrays. So following functions are valid in C99 compliant compilers. Example for inline functions inline int max(int a, int b) { if (a > b) return a; else return b; } a = max (x, y); /* This is now equivalent to if (x > y) a = x; else a = y; */ Example for variable length arrays float read_and_process(int n) { float vals[n]; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) vals[i] = read_val(); return process(vals, n); } References: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_array http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_function Like Article Suggest improvement Previous GFact | 6 Digit number always divisible by 7, 11 and 13 when formed by repeating a 3-digit number twice Next Operands for sizeof operator Share your thoughts in the comments Add Your Comment Please Login to comment...
