c++ pointer simple example pass by reference

, , , , , 1 comment
Write a program which passes a reference to a function and function has a pointer as argument. Keep the return type void and display result in main body. Apply any maths operation find square of a number
Use any c++ compiler: Codeblocks recommended.

 If you have any confusion read this difference b/w pass by value and pass by reference 

 
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

void pass_by_reference(int *);
int main()
{
    int number;

    cout<<"Enter Number to Calculate Square: ";cin>>number;
    cout<<"\n\n\n";

    pass_by_reference(&number);
    cout<<"\t\tResult: "<<number<<endl;

    return 0;

}

void pass_by_reference(int *iPtr)
{
    *iPtr=*iPtr * *iPtr;
}

In the above example there is no need to return from function because changes will be made permanently on reference of number.
