C++ pass by VALUE vs pass by REFERENCE? 📧

[@BroCodez]

#include void swap(std::string &x, std::string &y); int main() { std::string x = "Kool-Aid"; std::string y = "Water"; swap(x, y); std::cout

@@farisvaljevac1478 Yeah this function exists but he is trying to teach about reference and eventually how the built-in swap(x,y) function works under the hood to the beginners. :)

many thanks sir, my many confusions are cleared. I have been watching this series from one week before, Sir did the 👏🙌good job

[@Clockwerk777]

So if i understand this correctly, is this the same concept of variable scope? where basically when you pass by value you get local versions of X and Y, which is what the function swaps, rather than the main()value?

i have been trying to do this, now i realize after watching this video that i was doing it backwards. ahaha thanks man

[@FrederikWollert]

Nice Video. But should also say that pass-by-value/reference means the same as call-by-value/reference.

[@renusoni6077]

Is it a good practice to always pass variables by reference to the functions?

[@shervin9561]

Thanks a lot!

[@adnanaman4391]

We are passing Memory Addresses from the main function to the made up Swap func through param &x&y , swapping activity done inside the swap function....then it goes on to display changed vals

1:58 Why don’t we just return X and Y? Void function don’t have return types so we change the “void” to a “string” right? Or is there no such thing as a string function?

[@aliceylan1211]

You could but the point of the video is to demonstrate the difference between passing by reference and passing by value

[@ishaqmangansakan7574]

There is a string function, but it just happens to prefer to use a void function.

[@garyalvarado2155]

if this is the case shouldnt we always pass parameters by reference?

[@kristijanlazarev]

I see mine are swapping even without passing by reference, why

[@SafwanMashrafiSaraf-ll1wl]

could you post the code here

[@lastwaveundergroundsaviour7037]

oooo interesting

[@user-lyf4isnt7daijobu]

#include void _swap(std::string x, std::string y); // passing by value // does not change value in place due to varying scopes(different memory addresses) void swap(std::string &x, std::string &y); // passing by reference // "reference" to memory address so that it changes in place int main() { std::string x = "Kool-Aid"; std::string y = "Water"; _swap(x,y); std::cout
