What does & in a parameter do?
Short answer. Passes the original, not a copy.
What prints without &?
60.
Remember
| By value: works on a copy |
| By reference (&): the original |
The function added five. Why are marks still sixty? K holds the marks. The ampersand passes the original, not a copy. So it becomes sixty five. Without it, it stays sixty. By value works on a copy. By reference changes the original.
