+/*1. What is a function in Dart?
+ Ans. Function is a set of statements that take inputs, do some specific computation and produces output.*/
+int add(int a, int b){
+  int result = a+b;
+  return result;
+}
+void main(){
+  var output = add(10, 20);
+  print ('output');
+}
+
+/* 2. How do you declare a function in Dart?
+function is declared by specifying the function return type or void if the function did not return any value, function name, function parameters
+and body of the function, between curly braces.
+Example 1 is an example of declared function
+
+3.What is the purpose of the main() function in Dart?
+Ans. The main () function is responsible for all kinds of execution, including user-defined statements, functions and libraries. 
+The program starts with main () function, which contains variable declarations, functions and user-defined executable statements,
+Example of main() function in Dart */
+void main() {
+  print("This is the main function in Dart.");
+}
+
+/* 4.Explain the difference between a named function and an anonymous function.
+A named function is declared with a specific name, while an anonymous function is declared without a name, often used as arguments in other functions or assigned to variables.
+
+ Example of a named function*/
+void namedFunction() {
+  print("This is a named function.");
+}
+// Example of an anonymous function
+var anonymousFunction = () {
+  print("This is an anonymous function.");
+};
+
+/*5.What is a return type in Dart functions?
+The return type in Dart functions specifies the type of value the function will return. It can be specified before the function name.
+
+Example of a function with a return type*/
+int add(int a, int b) {
+  return a + b;
+}
+
+/*6. How can you pass parameters to a Dart function?
+You can pass parameters to a Dart function by listing them inside the parentheses in the function declaration.
+
+ Example of a function with parameters*/
+void greet(String name) {
+  print("Hello, $name!");
+}
+/* Calling the function with a parameter*/
+greet("Alice");
+
+/*7.Describe the difference between positional and named parameters.
+Positional parameters are passed based on their order, while named parameters are explicitly identified by name.
+
+ Example of positional parameters*/
+void printOrderDetails(String productName, int quantity, double price) {
+  print("Product: $productName, Quantity: $quantity, Price: $$price");
+}
+
+// Example of named parameters
+void printOrderDetails({String productName, int quantity, double price}) {
+  print("Product: $productName, Quantity: $quantity, Price: $$price");
+}
+
+/*8. What is the significance of the arrow (=>) syntax in Dart functions?
+The arrow (=>) syntax in Dart functions is a shorthand for one-line functions, where it directly returns the result of the expression.
+
+Example of arrow syntax in Dart functions*/
+int square(int number) => number * number;
+
+/*9. How do you define default parameter values in Dart functions?
+Default parameter values in Dart functions are specified using the assignment operator (=) in the parameter list.
+
+ Example of a function with default parameter values*/
+void greet({String name = "World"}) {
+  print("Hello, $name!");
+}
+
+/*10. Explain the concept of optional parameters in Dart functions.
+Optional parameters in Dart functions are achieved by enclosing them in square brackets in the parameter list.
+
+ Example of optional parameters in Dart functions*/
+void greet(String name, [String greeting]) {
+  if (greeting != null) {
+    print("$greeting, $name!");
+  } else {
+    print("Hello, $name!");
+  }
+}
+
+/*11. What is the purpose of the void keyword in Dart functions?
+The void keyword in Dart functions indicates that the function does not return any value.
+
+Example of a function with void return type*/
+void logMessage(String message) {
+  print(message);
+}
+
+/*12. How can you define a function inside another function in Dart? What is this called?
+You can define a function inside another function in Dart, and this is called a nested function.
+
+Example of a nested function in Dart*/
+void outerFunction() {
+  void innerFunction() {
+    print("This is the inner function.");
+  }
+  innerFunction();
+}
+
+/*13. What is a higher-order function in Dart?
+A higher-order function in Dart is a function that takes one or more functions as parameters or returns a function.
+
+Example of a higher-order function in Dart*/
+void executeFunction(void Function() function) {
+  function();
+}
+
+void printMessage() {
+  print("This is a message.");
+}
+
+void main() {
+  executeFunction(printMessage);
+}
+
+/*14. Explain the difference between functions and methods in Dart.
+In Dart, functions are standalone, while methods are functions associated with a class or object.
+
+Example of a function in Dart*/
+void printMessage() {
+  print("This is a function.");
+}
+
+// Example of a method in Dart
+class MyClass {
+  void printMessage() {
+    print("This is a method.");
+  }
+}
+
+/*15. How do you use the return keyword in Dart functions?
+The return keyword in Dart is used to specify the value that a function should return.
+
+Example of a function with the return keyword*/
+int add(int a, int b) {
+  return a + b;
+}
+
+/*16. What is a function signature, and why is it important?
+A function signature includes the function's name, parameter types, and return type. It's important for defining and using functions correctly.
+
+Example of a function signature in Dart*/
+int add(int a, int b) {
+  return a + b;
+}
+/*The function signature here is int add(int a, int b). It consists of the function name, parameter types, and return type. It's important for defining and using functions correctly.
+
+17. How can you make a function in Dart asynchronous?
+To make a function asynchronous in Dart, you use the async keyword in the function declaration.
+
+ Example of an asynchronous function in Dart*/
+Future<void> fetchData() async {
+  // Simulating fetching data from an API
+  await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 2));
+  print("Data fetched!");
+}
+
+/*18. Describe the use of the async, await, and Future keywords in asynchronous functions.
+Async functions use the await keyword to pause execution until a Future is complete. The Future keyword is used to represent a potential value or error.
+
+Example of using async, await, and Future in Dart*/
+Future<void> fetchData() async {
+  // Simulating fetching data from an API
+  await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 2));
+  print("Data fetched!");
+}
+
+void main() {
+  print("Fetching data...");
+  fetchData();
+  print("Other tasks...");
+}
+
+/*19. How do you call a function defined in another Dart file?
+To call a function defined in another Dart file, you need to import that file using the import statement and then use the function as usual.
+
+File: utils.dart*/
+void printMessage() {
+  print("This is a message.");
+}
+
+// File: main.dart
+import 'utils.dart';
+
+void main() {
+  printMessage(); // Calling the function defined in utils.dart
+}
