In the examples that I saw the arguments were passed by reference in the following way:
void AddOne(int &y)
In the code that I have I see the following syntax:
void AddOne(int& y)
I wonder if it is the same or the second case is somehow different from the first one.
Both are exactly the same. No difference at all.
All that matters is that &
should be between the type and the variable name. Spaces don't matter.
So
void AddOne(int& y);
void AddOne(int &y);
void AddOne(int & y)
void AddOne(int & y);
void AddOne(int&y);
are same!
It's the same for the language, just different code conventions
There is no differences between
void AddOne(int &y);
and
void AddOne(int& y);
and even
void AddOne(int&y);
in C++, as the whitespaces between actual tokens are discarded.
