sorry im still learning. I have been tasked with creating a linear search program for a 10 element array for class. while reading links on google i found one that uses the following code:
the bool i get as that is simple in the man page, but what are the node*& and the int*& and what are they telling me?Code:bool jw_search ( node*& list, int key, int*& rec )
Thank you.
that's not C code, it's C++. it's passing references to pointers as parameters to jw_search. the purpose being that jw_search can modify those pointers in such a way that the caller can see the changes.
What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?
In this context, it is invalid syntax. However, you are probably looking at C++ code, in which case it declares rec to be a reference to a pointer to int.
