DEVELOPE AND PRACTICE C++ APPLICATION PROGRAMS USING REFERENCES POINTERS

AIM/OBJECTIVE: To write and execute C++ programs to demonstrate the use of Reference and Pointers
SOFTWARE USED: Online C++ Compiler
PROGRAMS:
1. Write a C++ program signifying reference and de-reference operators in pointers:-

//RA2311043010081
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int a = 10;
int* pt;
pt = &a;
cout << "The address where a is stored is: " << pt<< endl;
cout << "The value stored at the address by dereferencing the pointer is: "<< *pt << endl;
}

OUTPUT:

2. Write C++ program to demonstrate the difference between call by value and call by reference:-

//RA2311043010081
#include <iostream>
// Function to demonstrate call by value
void callByValue(int x)
{
std::cout << "Inside callByValue function\n";
std::cout << "Original value of x: " << x << "\n";
// Modifying the value of x inside the function
x = 20;
std::cout << "Value of x after modification inside callByValue: " << x << "\n";
}
// Function to demonstrate call by reference
void callByReference(int &y)
{
std::cout << "Inside callByReference function\n";
std::cout << "Original value of y: " << y << "\n";
// Modifying the value of y inside the function
y = 30;
std::cout << "Value of y after modification inside callByReference: " << y << "\n";
}
int main() {
// Demonstrate call by value
int num1 = 10;
std::cout << "Before calling callByValue, num1: " << num1 << "\n";
callByValue(num1);
std::cout << "Value of num1 after calling callByValue: " << num1 << "\n";
// Demonstrate call by reference
int num2 = 15;
std::cout << "Before calling callByReference, num2: " << num2 << "\n";
callByReference(num2);
std::cout << "Value of num2 after calling callByReference: " << num2 << "\n";
return 0;
 }

OUTPUT:

3. Write a program to demonstrate changing the value pointed by pointers :-

//RA2311043010081
#include <iostream>
int main()
 {
// Declare a variable
int originalValue = 10;
// Declare a pointer and initialize it to the address of the variable
int* pointerToValue = &originalValue;
// Display the original value and the value through the pointer
std::cout << "Original Value: " << originalValue << "\n";
std::cout << "Value through Pointer: " << *pointerToValue << "\n\n";
// Change the value through the pointer
*pointerToValue = 20;
// Display the updated values
std::cout << "Original Value after change: " << originalValue << "\n";
std::cout << "Value through Pointer after change: " << *pointerToValue << "\n";
return 0;
}

OUTPUT:
RESULT:
The Programs on Reference and Pointers were executed and desired output was obtained.
