Question

what the process of linking the function call to the function definition is called

Answer 1

Linking is the process of collecting and combining various pieces of code and data into a single file that can be loaded (copied) into memory and executed.

Answer 2

Flow of Control

the process of linking the function call to the function definition is called flow of control.

• The sequence in which a script's statements are executed by the computer is known as the control flow.
• Unless the computer encounters one of the (very common) structures that alters the control flow, such as conditionals and loops, code is executed sequentially from the first line in the file to the last line.

• A function call is an expression that starts with the function name and ends with the operator (). The values that should be passed into the function are listed inside the parentheses of the function call operator if the function has been defined to accept parameters.
• Normally, control moves sequentially from one statement to the next among the statements. However, as we shall see, the majority of C's statements are made to change this sequential flow in order to build algorithms of any complexity.
