Arrays can be passed as parameters to functions. In C++ it is not possible to pass a complete block of memory
by value as a parameter to a function, but is allowed to pass its address. In practice, this has almost the same
e ect and it is much faster and is a more e cient operation.
In order to accept arrays as parameters the only thing that is to be done while declaring a function is to
specify the type and name of the array as its parameter, an identi er and a pair of brackets[]. For example, the
following function:
void procedure(int arg[])
accepts a parameter which is an array of type
int
