(b)

Answer 1

Answer (a) is not correct. void cannot be passed as an argument in function.

Answer 2

So all other ones are correct? Explain please...@rohnetrissa

Answer 3

Is CS161 using C or C++ or? Because void is not only valid but proper as an argument in C. It works in C++ too, but is not the preferred method. So it is going to come down to what the question states as a requirement, the "CS 161 class coding standards" which are the standards made by that professor, as opposed to a standards body.

Answer 4

Lets say the school is using C, then (void) would be required. However, what if their standard was for all user made functions to start with a lower case letter? Or, what if they use c/c++ and state that all function names must be descriptive? Both of those would give different answers.
