Solved Problem #CPP#5265

Problem Statement - Output Writing – Function Returning reference

Write output of the following code. Assume inclusion of related header files.

int &min(int &a, int &b)
{
  if (a<b) return a;
  else return b;
}

int main()
{
  int x=2,y=3;
  min(x,y)=10; 
  cout<<"x-y = "<<(x-y)<<endl;
  cout<<"y-x = "<<(y-x)<<endl;
  return 0;
}

Solution

x-y= 7

y-x = -7

Notes

int &min(int &a, int &b) if (a<b) return a; else return b;
Returns reference to a or b whichever is lower by its value content.

int x=2,y=3;
min(x,y)=10;
Left side is supposed to be a function, since the function returns a reference of memory location it has been placed on left side. The returned reference will be filled with value 10. In this case x is lower so x will be filled with 10.

cout<<“x-y = “<<(x-y)<<endl;
Since x is now 10 and y is 3 so this will print 7.

cout<<“y-x = “<<(y-x)<<endl;
Since y is 3 and x is 10 so this will print -7.
