Pass by reference in C

Question

I\'m trying to use pass by reference in C so that the function can modify the values of the parameters passed to it. This is the function signature:

int loc         


        

Answer 1

C does not support pass by reference. You'll need C++ to do it the way it is written, or modify into

int locate(char *name, int *s, int *i)

and pass pointers to the second and third parameter variables.
