call by reference - Using Pointers and Functions - C Programming
Write a C program to explain about call by reference.
/* C Program to explain about call by reference */
#include <stdio.h>
main ()
{
int a=10; b=20;
printf ("\n Before calling the function a&b is %d,%d",a,b);
void change(&a,&b); /* change is a function call with parameters */
printf ("\n After calling the function a&b is %d %d", a,b);
} /* main */
void change(x,y)
int x,y;
{
x=x+5;
y=y+10;
printf ("In the function changes a&b is %d,%d", *x, *y);
} /* change */
OUTPUT
Before calling the function a&b is 10,20..
In the function changes a&b is 15,30.
After calling the function a&b is 15,30.
EXPLANATION: Prints values of variables a and b, then call function change() with address of variables a, b are referred as x,y in the function. Inside the function, the values are added to the constant variable and prints the values through pointer variables x and y. The main function prints the value of a and b after function calling.
