C ++ as the reference parameter

C ++ references

We have already discussed how to use pointers, to refer to the calling function. The following example uses a reference to a reference to the calling function to achieve.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// 函数声明
void swap(int& x, int& y);
 
int main ()
{
   // 局部变量声明
   int a = 100;
   int b = 200;
 
   cout << "交换前，a 的值：" << a << endl;
   cout << "交换前，b 的值：" << b << endl;
 
   /* 调用函数来交换值 */
   swap(a, b);
 
   cout << "交换后，a 的值：" << a << endl;
   cout << "交换前，b 的值：" << b << endl;
 
   return 0;
}
 
// 函数定义
void swap(int& x, int& y)
{
   int temp;
   temp = x; /* 保存地址 x 的值 */
   x = y;    /* 把 y 赋值给 x */
   y = temp; /* 把 x 赋值给 y  */
  
   return;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following results:

交换前，a 的值： 100
交换前，b 的值： 200
交换后，a 的值： 200
交换后，b 的值： 100
