Question 2
|
Consider the following C function.
void swap (int a, int b)
{
int temp;
temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;
}
In order to exchange the values of two variables x and y.
|
call swap (x, y)
|
|
|
call swap (&x, &y)
|
|
|
swap (x,y) cannot be used as it does not return any value
|
|
|
swap (x,y) cannot be used as the parameters are passed by value
|
Question 2 Explanation:
Option A:
Here parameters passed by value in C then there is no change in the values.
Option B:
Here values are not swap.
Here parameters are passed by address in C.
Option C:
It is false. Return value is not valid for exchanging the variables.
Option D:
It is correct.
We cannot use swap(x,y) because parameters are passed by value.
Only exchanging the values (or) variables are passing their address and then modify the content with the help of dereferencing operator(*).
Here parameters passed by value in C then there is no change in the values.
Option B:
Here values are not swap.
Here parameters are passed by address in C.
Option C:
It is false. Return value is not valid for exchanging the variables.
Option D:
It is correct.
We cannot use swap(x,y) because parameters are passed by value.
Only exchanging the values (or) variables are passing their address and then modify the content with the help of dereferencing operator(*).
Correct Answer: D
