What is a potential drawback of using pass-by-reference in a function? Higher memory usage due to copying data Unintentional modification of the original variable Increased computational overhead Delayed evaluation of expressions

Unintentional modification of the original variable

What is a common misconception about pass-by-reference? It uses more memory than pass-by-value It creates a new copy of the variable It cannot modify the original variable It always leads to faster execution

It always leads to faster execution

Which parameter passing mechanism copies the actual value of an argument into the formal parameter of the function?

In which parameter passing mechanism does the function receive a reference to the argument, allowing it to modify the variable directly?

What is a potential drawback of using pass-by-reference in a function?

Pass-by-value ensures that changes made to a parameter within a function do not affect the original argument. Which concept does this illustrate?

Which parameter passing mechanism is often used in lazy evaluation languages to delay computation until the result is needed?

In a language that uses pass-by-name, how are expressions passed as parameters evaluated?

Which of these is a key advantage of using pass-by-value?

Which parameter passing mechanism is typically associated with functional programming languages for promoting immutability?

In C++, which keyword is used to indicate pass-by-reference in a function parameter?
