Answer / manila

Pass By Value:

1.It passes the actual value of parameter from the function
call.
2.Value of the parameter variable in calling functions
remains unchanged.
3.copy of the variable of actual parameter are made and
transfer to the formal parameter.

call By Reference:

1.the address of the actual parameter has to be transfered
2.the formal parameter in the function decleretion must of
pointer type.
3.Any changes in the formal parameter can change the value
of actual patameter.

Answer / chinna

in Pass by value; if any change in variable in the sub-
function may not reflected to the main function. where as
in pass by reference the change in the variable may reflect
to the original value in the main funtion.

ex : // Pass by Reference

void Get( int &nIndex){
nIndex = 10;
}

void main()
{
int x = 100;
cout<<Get( x );
}

o/p : 10;

ex : // Pass by Value

void Get( int nIndex){
nIndex = 10;
}

void main()
{
int x = 999;
cout<<Get( x );
}

o/p : 999

Answer / ganesh

Answer / sravanthi

pass by reference is nothing but a value is called by using
its reference value i.e., its address value where as pass by
value is that which is called by its value initialized.

Answer / anwer sayed

Pass By Reference :
In Pass by reference address of the variable is passed to a
function. Whatever changes made to the formal parameter will
affect to the actual parameters
- Same memory location is used for both variables.(Formal
and Actual)-
- it is useful when you required to return more then 1 values
Pass By Value:
- In this method value of the variable is passed. Changes
made to formal will not affect the actual parameters.
- Different memory locations will be created for both variables.
