You do not have to use prototypes; so long as you define the function before you use it, it will work. In addition to Bazzy's words, if you ever want to use a function that you did not write and are not going to be compiling yourself (which I expect is very, very often), the compiler must still know what will be passed in and what will be returned.

Many myths cloud the emergence and prominence of shellac after the appearance of nitro cellulose. One chief legend states shellac is not waterproof. Shellac, just as many other finishes, is not waterproof, however, it is quite water resistant. Shellac can easily withstand water for about 4 hours. Even if the surface is not wiped, the resulting faint white stain will still fade away as it dries.
Because it is compatible with most other finishes, shellac is also used as a barrier or primer coat on wood to prevent the bleeding of resin or pigments into the final finish, or to prevent wood stain from blotching.he thick, sticky shellac is then dried into a flat sheet and broken into flakes, or dried into buttons (pucks/cakes), then bagged and sold. The end-user then crushes it into a fine powder and mixes it with ethyl alcohol prior to use, to dissolve the flakes and make liquid shellac.
