Chapter 4, Indirect Addressing: References

1. a – c. Please see Assessments/Chapter04/Chp4-Q1.cpp in the GitHub repository.

c. (follow-up question) Pointer variables need not only call the version of ReadData(Student *) that accepts a pointer to a Student and reference variables need not only call the version of ReadData(Student &) that accepts a reference to a Student. For example, a pointer variable may be dereferenced with * and then call the version that accepts a reference. Likewise, a reference variable may have its address taken using & and then call the version that accepts a pointer (though this is less commonly done). You simply need to make the data types match with respect to what you are passing and what the function expects.
