The function hasn't returned any value back to the main function.hence the main the values of the i,j declared in the initial function are displayed.

Its call by value so the value is not updated.

I think the reason is that your function is returning nothing or has nothing to return try this ;

#include <stdio.h>
void fun( int, int);
int main()
{
    int i=5,j=2;
    fun(i,j);
 
    return 0;
}    

void fun(int i, int j)
{
    i = i*i;
    j = j*j;

   printf("%d %j",i,j);
}

void fun(int i, int j)
{
    i = i*i;                                      // change this to:        i *=i;   or i**;
    j = j*j;                                      // change this to:         j *=j;  or j**;

   printf("%d %j",i,j);              // change this to:        printf("%d %d", i, j);
}

Or:

int fun(int i, int j){
        i = i*i;      // this is not wrong, but the shorter the code the less time it takes to process.
        j = j*j;      // though, not always better.
return 0;
}

Because the value taken in the parameters of function fun are not by refrence. So the values wont change when they come back to main for the execution. hence there is no change in the value of i and j in the main and the original value is printed.

Hi,

In main() you are calling the fun() by value ,hence value is duplicated and multiplication is performed on the copied variables(not the original).

If you want the action to be performed on the original variables,then you have to call the fun() by address (i.e,by using pointer).
