No, you can call other function(s) inside a function but you cannot define a new function in it.

I am a teacher.

Yes, you can. See below example: display() function definition inside sum() function definition. #include "stdio.h" void main(){ sum(); } int sum(){ void display(){ printf("inside display"); } printf("inside sum \n"); display(); }

Yes, but the prototype of the function must be declared in the begging of the program. Another notable point is that it will re defined every time the outer function is called and it might lead the compiler to be ambiguous about such lines of code.

No its not allowed, but some compilers support. Instead check out OOP C++, which would encapsulation, that is better than function in function.
