What is a reentrant function?
An example of an AI chatbot conversation about reentrant functions in programming.
Can you explain what a reentrant function is?
Sure! A reentrant function is a function that can be interrupted in the middle of its execution and safely called again ('re-entered') before the previous executions are complete.
What makes a function reentrant?
A function is reentrant if it does not rely on shared state or static variables, and it only uses local variables. This ensures that multiple invocations do not interfere with each other.
Can you give me an example of a reentrant function?
Certainly! A simple example is a function that calculates the factorial of a number using recursion, as long as it doesn't use any global variables.
Are all recursive functions reentrant?
Not necessarily. A recursive function is reentrant only if it doesn't use shared state or modify global variables during its execution.
