Answer / kruthicse
Call By Value:
Creates a new memory loaction for use within the
subroutine.The memory is freed once it leaves the
subroutine.Changes made to the variable are not affected
outside the subroutine.
Call By Reference:
Passes a pointer to the memory location.Changes made to the
variable within the subroutine affects the variable outside
the subroutine.

Answer / ashish awasthi
in call by value method,a compiler get a copy of the
variable and thus changes made in the value in function
will not reflected back to the called function.but in call
by reference method,the compiler didn't get any copy ,but
actually it works on the original copy and thus changes
will be reflected back

Answer / shrikant patil
Call by value method:
passing the value of variable to the function.
void main()
{
int x=10,y=20;
printf("%d%d',x,y);
swap(x,y);
}
void swap(int a,int b)
{
int c;
c=a;//changes here do not affect in values
a=b;//of x and y in main function..
b=c;
}
call by reference method:
passing the address of variable to the function.
swap(&a,&b)
&c=&a;
&a=&b;
&b=&c;
changes made in subfunction causes changes in address of
variables n thus in main () also..
