C++ Program to Swap two numbers and characters using call by address

What are Functions ?

Function is a block of statements that performs some operations. All C++ programs have at least one function – function called “main()”. This function is entry-point of your program.

A function declaration tells the compiler about a function’s name, return type, and parameters. A function definition provides the actual body of the function.

Defining a Function : :

The general form of a C++ function definition is as follows

return_type Function_Name( list of parameters )
{
//function’s body
}

• return_type : suggests what the function will return. It can be void, int, char, some pointer or even a class object.
• Function_Name : is the name of the function, using the function name it is called.
• Parameters : are variables to hold values of arguments passed while function is called. A function may or may not contain parameter list.
• Function body : is he part where the code statements are written.

OUTPUT : :

/*  C++ Program to Swap two numbers and characters using call by address  */

Enter 1st character :: M

Enter 2nd character :: N

Enter 1st integer :: 3

Enter 2nd integer :: 5

Before Swapping, Value of Characters ::
        x = M   y = N

Before Swapping, Value of Integers ::
        A = 3   B = 5

Inside Function After Swapping, Value of Integers ::
        A = 5   B = 3

Inside Function After Swapping, Value of Characters ::
        x = N   y = M

Outside Function After Swapping, Value of Characters ::
        x = N   y = M

Outside Function After Swapping, Value of Integers ::
