Programación funcional: llamada por referencia

En Call by Reference, el original value is changedporque pasamos la dirección de referencia de los argumentos. Los argumentos reales y formales comparten el mismo espacio de direcciones, por lo que cualquier cambio de valor dentro de la función se refleja tanto dentro como fuera de la función.

Llamar por referencia en C ++

El siguiente programa muestra cómo funciona Call by Value en C ++ -

#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 

void swap(int *a, int *b) {    
   int temp; 
   temp = *a; 
   *a = *b; 
   *b = temp; 
   cout<<"\n"<<"value of a inside the function: "<<*a; 
   cout<<"\n"<<"value of b inside the function: "<<*b; 
}  
int main() {     
   int a = 50, b = 75;   
   cout<<"\n"<<"value of a before sending to function: "<<a; 
   cout<<"\n"<<"value of b before sending to function: "<<b; 
   swap(&a, &b);  // passing value to function 
   cout<<"\n"<<"value of a after sending to function: "<<a; 
   cout<<"\n"<<"value of b after sending to function: "<<b; 
   return 0;   
}

Producirá la siguiente salida:

value of a before sending to function:  50 
value of b before sending to function:  75 
value of a inside the function:  75 
value of b inside the function: 50 
value of a after sending to function:  75 
value of b after sending to function:  50

def swap(a,b): 
   t = a; 
   a = b; 
   b = t; 
   print "value of a inside the function: :",a 
   print "value of b inside the function: ",b 
   return(a,b) 
    
# Now we can call swap function 
a = 50 
b =75 
print "value of a before sending to function: ",a 
print "value of b before sending to function: ",b 
x = swap(a,b) 
print "value of a after sending to function: ", x[0] 
print "value of b after sending to function: ",x[1]

Producirá la siguiente salida:

value of a before sending to function:  50 
value of b before sending to function:  75 
value of a inside the function:  75 
value of b inside the function:  50 
value of a after sending to function:  75 
value of b after sending to function:  50
