    The document discusses three ways of passing arguments to functions in C: passing by value where the function receives a copy of the arguments, passing by address where the function receives the memory address of the arguments allowing it to modify the original values, and passing an array parameter which is actually a pointer to the first element of the array allowing the function to access all elements.

    A. Passing By Value (func_calc.

    c)

    main answer = add(num1, num2); add

    num1 num2 answer a b sum


    111 111
    222 222
    333 333

    B. Passing By Address (func_pointer.c)

    main add( &totalValue, bonus) ; add

    bonus totalValue
    555
    1000 pTota amount
    1555 l

    555
    void add( int* pTotal, int amount );

    C. Array Parameter (func_array.c)

    main show( scores ) ;

    scores
    100 89 75 64 55

    void show( int list [ ] );

    - list: a) It is an array parameter (NOT AN ARRAY) in the function show( ).


    b) It holds the memory address of scores[0] (“the memory address of the array”)!
    c) It is a pointer to the actual array in the main program!
