    Yes. A function is just a collection of programming. And instead of writing all that programming each time you want to use it, you can stick it in a function. Then just use that function name in your program wherever you need to use it.

    So a program to "do your chores"...

    Main Program DoYourChores
    {
    Do ChoresList
    If weekend
    {
    Do ChoresList
    Relax
    }
    }

    Function ChoresList
    {
    Clean yard
    Wash dishes
    Take out trash
    }

    Function Relax
    {
    Watch TV
    }

    Is it possible ?
    It means a function may be defined within main function ?

    Yes a function can be nested.
    Is this possible in C programming or JAVA?

    Hi,

    Sorry got my concepts wrong...i thought of function calls...a function cannot be defined within a main function as it gives declaration syntax error in C and Java...but nested functions concept exists...Correct me if I am wrong...
