Ordinary functions don’t change the number of rows – they work as if they are processing each row independently. In fact, functions are not called for individual rows, but for `Block`’s of data to implement vectorized query execution.
There are some miscellaneous functions, like [blockSize](../sql-reference/functions/other-functions.md#function-blocksize), [rowNumberInBlock](../sql-reference/functions/other-functions.md#function-rownumberinblock), and \[runningAccumulate\](../sql-reference/functions/other-functions.md\#runningaccumulatexploit block processing and violate the independence of rows.

ClickHouse has strong typing, so there’s no implicit type conversion. If a function doesn’t support a specific combination of types, it throws an exception. But functions can work (be overloaded) for many different combinations of types. For example, the `plus` function (to implement the `+` operator) works for any combination of numeric types: `UInt8` + `Float32`, `UInt16` + `Int8`, and so on. Also, some variadic functions can accept any number of arguments, such as the `concat` function.
