How can you change values in call by reference?

We don't call by reference, we call functions. The arguments passed to the function are passed (not called) either by value or by reference, depending upon the function signature (the prototype). When you pass by reference you are passing the actual variable, not a copy of the variable, thus the function can modify that variable's value directly. The only exception is when the parameter is declared a constant reference. Passing a pointer is essentially the same as passing by reference, however the pointer itself is passed by value. To pass a pointer by reference you must pass a pointer-to-pointer instead. Passing by value always copies the value, whether it is declared constant or not. But if it is declared constant, the function might as well accept a constant reference. Passing objects (instances of a class) by constant value will incur a performance penalty in making an unnecessary copy. If it is constant, there is little point in copying the object.


Suppose you are sitting in a car at a red light when a car moving toward the north begins to pass you. if you use the passing car as a reference point the direction in whichyou appear to be moving is?

If you use the passing car as a reference point, you would appear to be moving south. This is because your perspective changes as the passing car moves north, making it seem like you are moving in the opposite direction, even though you are stationary.


What differences between function call by value and function call by reference?

Well let me start by saying that passing by value is like making a copy of something. The copy my be changed or destroyed without changing the original. Example: void PassByValueFunction (int); main() { int num = 5; cout

Why you pass something by reference and then make it const while call by reference mean you want to change it?

Call by reference does not necessarily mean you want to change something. It simply means that you are passing a pointer to the object rather than the object itself. This can be cost effective if the object is large, in comparison to a pointer. Making the call by reference const is an effective tool for doing this when you do not intend to modify the object, and you want to make sure you don't accidentally do so.
