Can Arrays Be Passed to Functions by Value?

Answer: An array can be passed to a function by value by declaring in the called function the array name with square brackets ( [ and ] ) attached to the end. When calling the function, simply pass the address of the array (that is, the array's name) to the called function.

Why can't arrays be passed by values to functions?

Answer: Arrays can't be passed by values. Because , the array name is evaluated to be a pointer to the first element of the array. ... Its type is, therefore, int *, and a called function uses this pointer (passed as an argument) to indirectly access the elements of the array.

Are arrays passed to functions by value or by reference?

When an array is a parameter of a function (without the const keyword) then any changes made to the values in the array will be seen in the original calling function. Therefore, we say that arrays are passed by reference by default.
