  1. function call

    A function call is a programming term that refers to the process of invoking or activating a specific function in a program. It typically includes the function's name followed by parentheses, which may enclose arguments or parameters, if applicable, to be used by the function. Once a function is called, the program's control is transferred to that function, enabling it to execute its specific set of instructions. After the function completes its task, the control returns back to the part of the program from where it was called.
