Are there 3 ways you can do everything on a computer such as using functions in Microsoft Word?
Not everything. Many functions have multiple ways to execute them. Other functions only have one way to do them.

How structure is passed to function using structure pointer?
When you pass an object to a function you are not actually passing the object, you are only passing the object's value. This is what is meant by the term pass by value.When passing a value to a function there are actually two objects involved in the exchange: the actual argument (the object that is being passed) and the formal argument (the object used by the function). When we call a function that accepts one or more arguments (also known as parameters), the value of the actual argument is assigned to the corresponding formal argument. Thus the formal argument is a copy of the actual argument and any changes made to the formal argument will have no effect upon the actual argument.When the formal argument is a pointer, however, the value we pass is a memory address. The actual argument can either be a pointer of the same type or we can take the address of an object of the same type using the address-of operator and pass that. Either way, the value we pass is a memory address. We call this pass by reference even though the address is actually being passed by value. Passing by reference means that the formal argument and the actual argument both refer to the same object and offers an efficient means of passing large objects that are too expensive to copy. This includes most structures and unions and all arrays. Note that arrays implicitly decay to pointers and therefore cannot be passed by value. Structures and unions can be passed by value, but if they are larger than a pointer (in bytes) passing by reference is more efficient.There are four different ways to declare a formal argument as a pointer:mutable pointer to mutable typemutable pointer to constant typeconstant pointer to mutable typeconstant pointer to constant typeIdeally, functions should declare formal pointer arguments using methods 2 or 4. Both point to constant types so this gives the caller an assurance that the function has no side effects upon the object being passed by reference. Functions that use methods 1 or 3 should be regarded as having side-effects upon the object being referred to. This can be desirable for efficiency reasons, however returning values via arguments (also known as output parameters) should be avoided whenever possible.Note that it makes no difference if the formal pointer argument is mutable or constant because the formal and actual arguments are still separate objects. Constant formal arguments are only of relevance to the function designer, they are of no importance to the caller. This is true of all values passed to functions whether the value is a memory address or not. What is important to the caller of a by reference function is whether or not the object being pointed at is declared constant or not.

Why cos negative results positive?
It doesn't really. Depending on the exact value of the argument, the cosine function can give both positive and negative results, for a negative argument. As to "why" the sine, or cosine, functions have certain values, just look at the function definition. Take points on a unit circle. The sine represents the y-coordinate for any point on the circle, while the cosine represents the x-coordinate for such a point. (There are also other ways to define the sine and the cosine functions.)

What do you mean by call value and call by reference?
Call by value and call by reference relate to the way in which arguments are passed into functions. The function itself determines which method is employed. When a function expects an argument by value, the function makes a copy of the argument you pass. That is, you are passing the argument's value, not the argument itself. The value you pass is subsequently assigned to the function argument. If the function argument is an object (an instance of a class), then that class' copy constructor is automatically invoked and the copy is assigned to the function argument. The function argument remains in scope until the function returns, which then invokes the class' destructor. Since the function works with a copy of the argument that you passed, the function has no direct effect on the argument you passed. Passing large and complex objects by value is clearly costly in terms of both performance and memory, but if you want the function to actually make changes to your object, then pass by value will not work unless you also return a copy of the altered object and assign this copy to your original object. That's two copy constructors, two destructors, and one assignment. This is where pass by reference comes in. When you pass by reference you are passing the address of your argument to the function, and that address is assigned to the function argument. So unless the function argument is declared const, any changes made to the function argument will be reflected in the argument you passed. This is clearly more efficient than passing by value, since no copies need to be made. And when the function argument is declared const, you can be assured that your object's immutable members will not be altered by the function since the function can only call const member functions. Passing by reference is clearly the preferred method of passing arguments into functions, particularly when those arguments are complex objects. In order to achieve pass by reference, the function argument needs to accept an address. Assigning the address to a pointer argument seems the obvious way of doing this, but in C++ there is a better way: use a reference! C programmers often get confused when we speak of C++ references because a reference in C is simply another name for a pointer. But in C++, a reference is not a pointer at all. Keep in mind that a pointer is a variable (or a constant), and therefore a pointer has an address of its own because it needs somewhere to store the address that it is pointing at. The stored address is the pointer's value, and that value can be dereferenced provided it is not NULL. That is, dereferencing a pointer gives us the indirect value stored in the address that the pointer is referring to. Moreover, pointer variables can be assigned any address at any time; they can point anywhere, or they can point to NULL. In C++, however, references behave differently to pointers. Once assigned, you cannot reassign a reference and they can never be NULL. Therefore you must assign a reference to an exiting object at the point of instantiation; you cannot declare and assign separately as you can with a pointer. This is because references do not store the address they refer to, they are simply aliases for the address itself. In other words, the address of a reference is the same as the reference itself. In many ways, a reference is not unlike a constant pointer, since it always refers to the same object, but even a constant pointer has its own address, a reference does not. Now that we understand what a reference is, we can see how it can be applied to functions that expect an address. When we pass our argument to a pass by reference function, we are assigning the address of the argument to the function argument, just as we would if the function argument were a pointer. The difference is that we don't need to use the address-of operator to obtain the address since the function already knows to expect a reference. That address is then assigned to the function argument. While the argument remains in scope, we have two guarantees: the reference cannot be NULL (so we don't need to test for NULL as we would with a pointer) and the reference cannot be reassigned (so its effectively the same as a const pointer). Moreover, since it is not a pointer of any kind, there is no redirection involved. The reference can be treated just as if it were the argument we passed; they are one and the same after all, just different names. To conclude, here are some examples of functions that employ pass by value and pass by reference: Example 1: pass by value MyObject foo(MyClass val) { val.set_data(42); return(val); } In this example we are passing a complex object of type MyClass that has a set_data() method. The object we pass is left unaffected because val is a copy of the object we passed. However, if we placed trace code in the class copy constructor and the destructor, we'd find two copies are constructed and destroyed during this call, once to create val, and again to create the return value. val is destroyed first and the return value second. The return value is an automatic variable which we can immediately assign to another object (including the original argument we passed to the function if we wished) but beyond that the return value will cease to exist. To call this function and assign the return value to the original object, we'd use the following: MyClass x; x = foo(x); Example 2: pass by reference (via pointer) void foo(MyClass* const ptr) { if( ptr ) { ptr->set_data(42); // (*ptr).set_data(42); } } Note that the points-to operator (->) is simply sugar-coating for the dereference operator, as shown in the commented line. Note also that the const keyword applies to the pointer itself, not what it points to. Thus *ptr is variable, but ptr is not. Here we're passing a reference by const pointer. Since pointers may be NULL we must ensure the pointer is non-NULL before we attempt to dereference it. Note that we do not need to return anything since ptr is assigned the address of the argument we passed, thus any changes made to the pointer's indirect value are reflected in the argument. In other words, ptr is an output argument. In order to call this function, we must employ the address-of operator. E.g., MyClass x; foo(&x); Example 4: pass by reference void foo(MyObject& ref) { ref.set_data(42); } Here we can see the C++ way of passing by reference. Unlike pointers we don't need to test for NULL, nor do we need to dereference. ref is guaranteed to always refer to a valid object. Moreover, the function call itself is simplified because we don't need to specify the address-of operator. MyClass x; foo(x); Note that ref is simply an alias for x. If we examine the address-of ref (&ref) we will find it is exactly the same as the address-of x (&x). If we look at the address-of ptr (&ptr) in the previous example, we'd find that it was not the same as &x, but its value would be &x, proving that references are neither pointers nor variables of any kind. Note that although these examples use complex objects, the same principal applies to primitives. The only difference is that there is no penalty in passing primitives by value as it's just as quick to pass by value as it is to pass by reference. It's just a question of whether you want changes reflected in the original argument or not. As a final note, if a function expects pass by reference, but you do not wish changes to be reflected in your object, copy the object first and pass the copy instead. This is really no different to pass by value. However, if the function argument is a constant reference, you don't need to make a copy since the function cannot alter the object's immutable members. You can also overload functions to pass by value and by reference, giving the best of both options. However, to achieve this, you need to use the pointer version of pass by reference. This is because the compiler cannot differentiate pass by value from pass by reference any other way.
What are the two ways that a moral argument can fail?
A moral argument can fail if it contains logical fallacies or if it is based on false premises. Additionally, the argument may also fail if it lacks clear reasoning or uses faulty moral principles.
