functions in c++ call by value and call by reference

Calling a function by value copies the argument and stores it in a local variable for use by the function, so the argument is unaffected if the value of the local variable changes.  The argument is passed to the function as a reference rather than a copy, so if the function changes the value of the argument, the argument is also changed.   The void change(int); function prototype informs the compiler that there is a function named change that takes a single int argument and returns void (i.e. nothing).  Because there is no & with the argument, it is called by value.  You have the line change(orig); later in your code, which actually calls the function with. Take a look at the output of ...READ MORE

Function default argument value depending on argument name in C++ [duplicate]

When the function is called with no argument for the corresponding parameter, the default argument is evaluated.  In a default argument, a parameter must not appear as a potentially evaluated expression.  A function's parameters declared before a default argument are in scope and can obscure the namespace and class member name. It provides the following example: int h(int a, ...READ MORE
