C++返回引用的函数例程

// 函数返回值为引用
#include < iostream.h >

int a[] = { 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 };
int & index( int ); // 声明返回引用的函数

void main()
{
cout << index( 2 ) << endl;
index( 2 ) = 25 ;
// a[2] = 25;
cout << index( 2 ) << endl;
}

// 引用就是变量的别名,这里是返回一个别名,一个变量的别名
int & index( int i)
{
return a[i];
}

// 引用举例
#include < iostream >
using namespace std;

int & max( int & num1, int & num2);
int & min( int & num1, int & num2);

void main()
{
int n1,n2;
cout << " Enter two numbers: " ;
cin >> n1 >> n2;
max(n1,n2) = 0;
cout << " \nAftrer putting zero in largest,then numbers are: "
<< n1 << " and " << n2 << endl;
cout << " Enter two numbers: " ;
cin >> n1 >> n2;
min(n1,n2) = 0 ;
cout << " \nAftrer putting zero in smallest,then numbers are: "
<< n1 << " and " << n2 << endl;
}

int & max( int & num1, int & num2)
{
return (num1 > num2 ? num1:num2);

}

int & min( int & num1, int & num2)
{
return (num1 < num2 ? num1:num2);
}
