c++ change function's variable argument

Question

i want to change my variable passed as argument to this function:

bool verifyStudent(string id, string name, int grade, int points, string type) {
if(!verify         


        

Answer 1

In order to change the arguments, you would have to take references:

bool verifyStudent(string& id, string& name, int& grade, int& points, string& type) 

Although I'd say that function is not verifyStudent as much as verifyAndCorrectStudentIfNeeded.
