Question No: 3 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one

{

return Value;

}

Question No:6 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one

When should you use a const reference parameter?

► Whenever the parameter has huge size.

► Whenever the parameter hashuge size, the function changes the parameter within its body, and you do NOT want these changes to alter the actual argument.

► Whenever the parameter has huge size, the function changes the parameter within its body, and you DO

want these changes to alter the actual argument.

► Whenever the parameter has huge size, and the function does not change the parameter within its body. Declaring a parameter asa const simply means thatthe function can’t change the value of its parameters.
