Functions Of The Stomach
Although it is a very complex organ which performs a wide variety of digestive actions, the stomach has 3 main functions:
The absorption of food and water by the stomach is negligible, but iron and highly fat-soluble substances like alcohol are absorbed directly. Finger-like folds called villi give the stomach a huge surface both to absorb food and secrete digestive juices.
Special cells secrete a protective coating called mucus, on the stomach walls to prevent damage from gastric acids. Originally it was thought that peptic ulcers were caused by an erosion of this mucus lining by these acids. However recent research indicates that these ulcers are caused largely by the spread of a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori bacterium into the gastric walls.
Food typically takes 4-5 hours to pass through the stomach into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine.
The functions of a stomach is to hold, digest, process and release food for digestion as it empties into the small intestine.

If we consider any function that is not the main function that is declared as "bool" i.e it will return boolean values to the main function-0 & 1, meaning 'false' and 'true' respectively. If we have to tell the main function that the condition checked in the function is false or disagreed, then we return 0 to the main function and when we have to tell that the condition checked in the main function is true or agreed, then we return 1 to the main function.
