LECTURE NOTES OF ADVANCED DATA STRUCTURE (MT-CSE 110)
Passing Arrays as Parameters
• Passes base address of array to function (address of first element in the
array)
• Always a call by reference parameter (no & needed)
• The formal parameter in the function does not need to state the size.
• Prefixing the array declaration with “const” in the formal parameter
prevents the function from modifying the array.
• Cannot be the returned value of a function.
Examples:
someFunction(anArray); // VALID call
void someFunction(int anArray[ ]); // Function can change the elements
void someFunction (const int anArray[ ]); // Function cannot change the
elements
#include
main()
{
int a[5];
int i;
for(i = 0;i
