funkymath function and main function

Trying to understand the difference between main function, funkymath function and functions in general. Are the comments right about the following lines of code ? 

// declaration of the function which is called funkymath and holds two parameters which are int's in this situation ?
int funkyMath(int a, int b);


//every C programme must contain a main function which is the starting point in execution? 
int main()

{


    int foo = 20;
    int bar = 30;
    printf("funky math %d\n", funkyMath(foo, bar));


    return 0;
}


// implementation of the funkymath function
int funkyMath(int a, int b){


//returning the two int values and adding one ? 
    return a + b + 1;
}
