Defining the Function in Dart

Dart provides us with the facility of using functions in its program.

In the above syntax: 

  • function_name: defines the name of the function.
  • return_type: defines the datatype in which output is going to come.
  • return value: defines the value to be returned from the function.

How to Call Functions in Dart?

In the above syntax: 

  • function_name: defines the name of the function.
  • argument list: is the list of the parameters that the function requires.


Example 1: Complete function in Dart 

Dart
int add(int a, int b){
    // Creating function
    int result = a + b;
    // returning value result
    return result;
}

void main(){
    // Calling the function
    var output = add(10, 20);

    // Printing output
    print(output);
}

Output: 

30

Note: You must note that two functions can’t have the same function name although they differ in parameters.

Example 2: Function without parameter and return value. 

Dart
void GFG(){
    // Creating function
    print("Welcome to w3wiki");
}

void main()
{
    // Calling the function
    GFG();
}

Output: 

Welcome to w3wiki

Note: You must note that you can also directly return string or integer or any output of expression through the return statement.

Dart – Functions

The function is a set of statements that take inputs, do some specific computation and produces output. Functions are created when certain statements are repeatedly occurring in the program and a function is created to replace them. Functions make it easy to divide the complex program into smaller sub-groups and increase the code reusability of the program.
