This is because the function definition itself can act as an implicit function declaration. It will work fine if you write your function definition above main. If you write it below then your program will run but you will get a warning. 

Function declaration is required when you define a function in one source file and you call that function in another file. In such case, you should declare the function at the top of the file before calling the function.

If you wrote the definition before the main means first it will treated as function declaration after calling it will execute

I hope u wrote code like this

Ex:
#include<stdio.h>
int  add(int a,int b)
{    

return a+b; }

Main()
{
int i=10,j=20,k;
K=add(i,j) ;
Printf("%d",k);}
