First we learn how to work with function. we learn how to pass parameters to the function , pass by reference. Function dcOrder and acOrder are the function that to do the sorting in descending and accending order . They accept an array parameter. when we call this function we pass the name of array to the function and what happend the fucntion will effect to the input parameter . that mean the value of array will change according to the function. The same way in the swap(int *, int *) function. i us the pointer technique to make the value swap between the two input parameters. or you can use the same technique but different manner , by using swap(int & , int & ) instead. and it will look like this void swap(int &num1, int &num2) { int temp; temp = num1; num1 = num2; num2 = temp; } to call this function just pass the variable name ... it sound better , isn't it.? in additional , Passing arrays to functions , the name of array variable is actually the address of the first element of the array[0] , The parameter of the called function, some_list , can be declared in any of the following ways: functionName(int some_list []) // with no subscript { .... } OR functionName(int some_list[10]) // same size as the array you want to pass to function {..... } OR functionName(int *some_list) // int type pointer {.....} Since the address of the array is always passed to a function , it is easy to alter the contents of the array directly in the function. Therefore, arrays do not have to be returned from function explicitly the return statement.
