Programs are made up of classes and functions. Functions are made for one task, to be given input and produce and output. They are not permitted to be sub programs. This is by design. Think about it, if functions are defined within other functions, then they will be local to that function making that function act like some other type, similar to a class therefore will lose it's identity of a function. Everything has it's purpose and restrictions.

Because while u define anything within the function of language C that object or method or variable has the Scope up to that Function
(Method) only.
So it doesn't make a sense to make a method within the method.Hence the developers of C make this things prohibited.

think of yourself as writing a compiler for c language. Its going to be very difficult for you to support function defintion within another function. And also,it doesnt serve any additional purpose. So why do it?

The C language is the simplified version of C++, or we can say that it is a sub of C++. That's why some features in C++ cant be supported in C language like classes, abstraction, and encapsulation.

Does it matter _why_? If that's the case, then learn to work with it - asking why won't change anything!
