In C language, functions are declared to compute and return the value of specific data type to the calling program.
Functions can also be written to perform a task. It may return many values indirectly to the calling program and these are referred as void function (Defined by the user at the time of writing the program) .
function are very much useful when a block of statements has to be written/executed again and again.
Functions are useful when the program size is too large or complex.
Functions are also used to reduce the difficulties during debugging a program.
