Arrays are always passed-by-pointer to functions, which means that array arguments can pass data into functions, out of functions, or both in and out of functions.
C++ does not allow to pass an entire array as an argument to a function. However, You can pass a pointer to an array by specifying the array's name without an index.
If you want to pass a single-dimension array as an argument in a function, you would have to declare a formal parameter in one of following three ways and all three declaration methods produce similar results because each tells the compiler that an integer pointer is going to be received.
Everything in Java is passed by value. In case of an array (which is nothing but an Object), the array reference is passed by value (just like an object reference is passed by value). When you pass an array to other method, actually the reference to that array is copied.
Are arrays passed by default by ref or value? Thanks.
