  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
  }

  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...
