Write a program to create own functions for computation in c++ language.
Requirements and Specifications
Module 8 Lab – Part 2
(Some of these exercises require written answers to questions. Answer those and copy and paste those answers to the bottom of the source file to which they apply).
This lab contains detailed information about functions as well as exercises using functions. Be sure to read through the entire lab. If you have any questions let me know.
Introduction to programmer-defined functions
We can write your C++ assignment to perform some computations. These types of functions are referred to as programmer-defined functions. A programmer-defined function may have three parts: 1) Function definition, 2) Function Call, and/or 3) Function declaration.
The following program (Example 4.3 from the textbook), which computes the total cost of purchases made in a store uses a function to compute the cost plus 5% sales tax of purchases made. This example is also the topic of the first video in Module 8.

/*
We cannot add overloading functions to compute the sphere area, because the only parameter needed to
compute the area of the sphere is the radius, so we cannot define a function named 'area' that receives a paramter 'r'
because that function already exists and is the one used to calculate the cross-section area of the disk
For the volume of the sphere, we do not need to use overloading because there is no function with the name
of 'volume', so if we define a function named 'volume', it will be only to calculate the volume of the sphere

/*
In this exercise, we can use overloading only in the function to calculate the volumes of
the cylinder and the sphere. This is because, both functions are different in the number of arguments
that the functions receive.
However, it is not possible for the area because the functions would have the same name and arguments, so
there is nothing to differentiate them
