Aim
1. To illustrate the concept of call by value vs. call by reference by taking example of
swapping of two numbers.
2. To write a recursive function for computing factorial of a number.
3. To write a program to read an array of elements and print the same in the reverse order
along with their addresses.
4. Write a function code that is returning pointer to the larger value out of two passes values.

Task to be done
Open GDB compiler and use the correct looping statement to execute the program.

Requirements
Online GDB compiler
Laptop

Input code:
1.1
#include <stdio.h>
void swapx(int x, int y);
int main()
{
int a = 39, b = 20;
swapx(a, b);
printf("a=%d b=%d\n", a, b);
return 0;
}

void swapx(int x, int y)
{
int t;
t = x;
x = y;
y = t;
printf("x=%d y=%d\n", x, y);
}

1.2
#include <stdio.h>
void swapx(int*, int*);
int main()
{
int a = 10, b = 20;
swapx(&a, &b);
printf("a=%d b=%d\n", a, b);
return 0;
}
void swapx(int* x, int* y)
{
int t;
t = *x;
*x = *y;
*y = t;
printf("x=%d y=%d\n", *x, *y);
}

int i,fact=1,number;
printf("Enter a number: ");
scanf("%d",&number);
for(i=1;i<=number;i++){
fact=fact*i;
}
printf("Factorial of %d is: %d",number,fact);
return 0;
}

3.
#include<stdio.h>
void main() {
int size, i, arr[30];
int *ptr;
ptr = &arr[0];
printf("\nEnter the size of array : ");
scanf("%d", &size);
printf("\nEnter %d integers into array: ", size);
for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
scanf("%d", ptr);
ptr++;
}
ptr = &arr[size - 1];
printf("\nElements of array in reverse order are :");
for (i = size - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
printf("\nElement%d is %d : ", i, *ptr);
ptr--;
}
}

Concept used
1.Concept of concept of call by value vs. call by reference is used by using
index values.
2.Finding factorial using C program.
3. Concept of pointers and its use.

Learning/ observation
Learnt the use of pointers.
Learnt the concept of call by reference and call by value.
And also learnt how to find the factorial.

Troubleshooting
Using the correct index and functions.
