The keyword used to transfer control from a function back to the calling function is
switch
goto
go back
return
Answer: Option
Explanation:

The keyword return is used to transfer control from a function back to the calling function.

Example:


#include<stdio.h>
int add(int, int); /* Function prototype */

int main()
{
    int a = 4, b = 3, c;
    c = add(a, b);
    printf("c = %d\n", c);
    return 0;
}
int add(int a, int b)
{
/* returns the value and control back to main() function */
   return (a+b);
}

Output:
c = 7

Relation between main function and called function is called "PROTOTYPE".

EX:- int add(int, int); /* Function prototype */

@Rathika
a=1
a++=1 //it increment the value after execute the exp

Can anyone explain me. How to decide Which code part we have to write in main block and function block? Please tell me.

Function prototyping is nothing but we are declaring that we have a function in a specific name to the compiler.

We cannot write two arguments in the return statements

ex:
return(x,y);
it will take only 3

0 is beside return because the function is integer type it should return integer value.

Here value of a = 4, b = 3; then we are having calling function then a+b = 4+3 = 7.
