Answer / neenz
In some documentation, you'll see mention of a mystical "PF_INET". This is a weird etherial beast that is rarely seen in nature, but I might as well clarify it a bit here. Once a long time ago, it was thought that maybe a address family (what the "AF" in "AF_INET" stands for) might support several protocols that were referenced by their protocol family (what the "PF" in "PF_INET" stands for).
That didn't happen. Oh well. So the correct thing to do is to use AF_INET in your struct sockaddr_in and PF_INET in your call to socket(). But practically speaking, you can use AF_INET everywhere.

In the below code, how do you modify the value 'a' and print in the function. You'll be allowed to add code only inside the called function. main() { int a=5; function(); // no parameters should be passed } function() { /* add code here to modify the value of and print here */ }
Write down the program to sort the array.
