a.
Passing parameters by value:
While passing the parameters by value, a copy of that parameter is made and it is passed to the function. The value of parameter is copied to another location of memory. The location of memory where original value is saved remains intact.
Passing parameters by reference:
While passing parameters by reference, the address of value at which it is stored in memory is passed to the function. The original value of parameter changes during execution of a function.

- Reference variables can be polymorphic. What does this mean?arrow_forwardBriefly explain reference parameterarrow_forwardCODE USING C++ When dealing with problems, it is always best to find the "elephant" in the room. The elephant is basically the biggest issue. Once this is resolved, it's almost always easier to move forward. As a therapist, I know how to find the elephant in the room. However, I'm feeling sick today and the next client is coming. Could you please find the elephant for me? Instructions: In the code editor, you are provided with a function, findElephant() that accepts a 2D array and returns the largest element in the array. This function has already been implemented so do not edit this. You are also provided with the 2D array in the main() function. Your only task is to call the findElephant() function and pass the 2D array, and print the return value. Output Elephant:·10arrow_forward
- Write a program, using the syntax of whatever language you like, that produces different behavior depending on whether pass-by-reference or pass-by-value-result is used in its parameter passing.arrow_forwardC++ Using Card and Deck class created during the lecture or your own implementation that follows the spec for a card and deck, implement the following game: game is designed for a single player who is playing against the computeryou draw three cards for each player (player and a computer) Using the compare function from the Card class you compare each pair drawnIf the player's card is higher, the player gets a pointYou repeat this comparison 3 times (for each pair of cards you draw)The player wins if he gets more points than a computer (has more higher cards than the computer)arrow_forwardExercise 3. Parameter Passing What are the values of y and z at the end of the following block under the assumption that both parameters x are passed: (i) call by value, (ii) call by reference, and (iii) call by value-result. { int y; int z; y = 7; { int f(int x) { X = x+1; y = x; x = x+1; return y }; int g(int x) { y = f(x)+1; x := f(y)+3; return x } }; z := g(y)arrow_forward
- Explain whether the statement is true or false? Elaborate. When a program that uses the constructor overloading is compiled, C++ compiler checks the number of parameters, their order and data types and marks them differently.arrow_forwardWhat are the differences between constructors and functions?arrow_forwardA parameter in a C++ function is passed by reference. Which of following statement is true?I. The reference of the real parameter is passed to the formal parameter; II. Changing the value of the formal parameter in the function will not change the real parameter; III. Changing the value of the formal parameter in the function will change the real parameter as well. Question options: a. I only b. II only c. I and II only d. I and III only Consider the following expression of integer operation in C++: int m = 15%6;int n = 15/6; What are the values of m and n? Question options: a. 3 2.5 b. 3 2 c. 2 2.5 d. 2.5 2.5 Consider an integer array a of length n with indexing starting at 0, where n is a positive integer. If the elements of the array a are to be written out in reverse order,…arrow_forward
- Write program in C++ Language The other solutions on chegg were incorrect! Please read carefully! Write a program that defines and tests a class called COP3014. The class resembles aclassroom. It has the following grading scheme:3 quizzes 20 points each 20%Mid term 100 points 30%Final 100 points 50%Based on the total grade of any student for the course, the letter grade of each student can becomputed as follows:Any grade of 90 or more is an A, any grade of 80 or more (but less than 90) is a B, any grade of70 or more (but less than 80) is a C, any grade of 60 or more (but less than 70) is a D, and anygrade below 60 is an F.This class needs to have some member variables. The first name, last name, the Z-number, thegrades, the total grade and final letter grade are all considered to be private member variablesof this class.The class should also have the following public member functions/procedural attributes that canbring the objects (students of the class) to life and give them some…arrow_forward6. In Java, you have the opportunity to either use a predefined function/method or write a user-defined function/method. In this discussion, provide at least three criteria that would be used to develop an appropriate method of your choice and the rationale behind the selection of these criteria.arrow_forwardThis question is Chapter 9 programming exercise question 3.arrow_forward
