how to reference a pointer c++ code example
Example 1: c++ pointers
#include
using namespace std;
int main () {
int var = 20; // actual variable declaration.
int *ip; // pointer variable
ip = &var; // store address of var in pointer variable
cout << "Value of var variable: ";
cout << var << endl; //Prints "20"
// print the address stored in ip pointer variable
cout << "Address stored in ip variable: ";
cout << ip << endl; //Prints "b7f8yufs78fds"
// access the value at the address available in pointer
cout << "Value of *ip variable: ";
cout << *ip << endl; //Prints "20"
return 0;
}
Example 2: calling by reference and pointers c++
#include
using namespace std;
// Function prototype
void swap(int&, int&);
int main()
{
int a = 1, b = 2;
cout << "Before swapping" << endl;
cout << "a = " << a << endl;
cout << "b = " << b << endl;
swap(a, b);
cout << "\nAfter swapping" << endl;
cout << "a = " << a << endl;
cout << "b = " << b << endl;
return 0;
}
void swap(int& n1, int& n2) {
int temp;
temp = n1;
n1 = n2;
n2 = temp;
}
