passing object by reference in C++

Question

The usual way to pass a variable by reference in C++(also C) is as follows:

void _someFunction(dataType *name){ // dataType e.g int,char,flo         


        

Answer 1

One thing that I have to add is that there is no reference in C.

Secondly, this is the language syntax convention. & - is an address operator but it also mean a reference - all depends on usa case

If there was some "reference" keyword instead of & you could write

int CDummy::isitme (reference CDummy param)

but this is C++ and we should accept it advantages and disadvantages...
