 23.    return n;
 24.    }

I am having trouble understanding the program positive.c.

Q.1: When the program starts the main function at line 10 calls the "get_positive_int" function, at this point the flow control should move to line 15 and line 11 should not be executed, hence no print message. But the program prints the message.

Q.2 Function "get_positive_int" repeats itself after false value but prints the message why? "get_int" should prompt for the user input but no print the message "Positive integer: ". During this loop why it prints the message as there is no referece to it.

Answer 1

At line 10, the program calls get_positive_int with the string argument "Positive integer: "

This takes us to the function in line 15 and eventually to line 20, when get_int is called with the string prompt that was passed as the argument, so get_int will print "Positive integer: "

If you give an invalid number, the loop will run again, and once more, get_int will be called and will print "Positive integer: "

Once you give a valid number, line 23 will return that value back to the calling function (main) and store the value in the variable i (line 10). And then, line 11 will run and print that value of i to the terminal.

Main then ends.
