Ugh, this explains a lot! Books by Herbert Schildt
are, sit venia verbo, the most useless utter crap
you can get. The only thing this book documents is
the total incompetence of its author. Have a good
laugh, see https://www.lysator.liu.se/c/schildt.html
for a post mortem of his infamous "The Annotated ANSI
C Standard".

If you want an overall introductory book to C, get
K&R2, written by someone who understood C, if only
because he invented the language. :P If you want an
authoritative reference, get the ISO standard. Or
get Plauger's "C Library Reference" as, well, library
reference.

Ceterum censeo: There is no pass by reference in C,
has never been, and will presumably never be. Heck,
the C standard doesn't mention the concept at all,
not even in a non-normative foot note!

HTH, HAND
