Refrences as an alias
Because a reference is just another name for the object to which it is bound, all operations on a reference are actually operations on the underlying object to which the reference is bound. Example :
Example
#include <iostream>
int main() {
int a = 10;
int &b = a;
std::cout<<"Before Incrementing\n"<<a;
std::cout<<"\n"<<b;
a = 60;
std::cout<<"after Incrementing\n"<<a;
std::cout<<"\n"<<b;
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output
Before Incrementing 10 10after Incrementing 60 60
