Void Type
void
is a special type indicating the absence of any value. There are no objects of
void
; instead,
void
is used for deriving more complex types.
Void Functions
Use the
void
keyword as a function return type if the function does not return a
value. For example:
void
print_temp(char temp) {
Lcd_Out_Cp("Temperature:");
Lcd_Out_Cp(temp);
Lcd_Chr_Cp(223);
// degree character
Lcd_Chr_Cp('C');
}
Use
void
as a function heading if the function does not take any parameters.
Alternatively, you can just write empty parentheses:
main(void) {
// same as main()
...
}
Generic Pointers
Pointers can be declared as
void
, meaning that they can point to any type. These
pointers are sometimes called generic.
