C: Simple Swap Function Using Pointers

https://github.com/pereiradaniel/c_programs/blob/master/pointers2.c
#include <stdio.h>
// Pass by reference swap function
void swap(int *a, int*b)
{
    printf("a: %p\nb: %p\n", a, b);
    printf("*a: %d\n*b: %d\n", *a, *b);
    int temp = 0;
    temp = *a;
    *a = *b;
    *b = temp;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    // int a,b,c;
    // a=b=c=0;

    // printf("Enter 3 numbers: ");
    // scanf("%d %d %d", &a, &b, &c); // pass by reference
    // printf("Result: %d\n", a+b+c);

    int x, y;
    x = 5;
    y = 10;
    
    printf("x: %d, y: %d.\n", x, y);
    printf("&x: %p\n&y: %p\n", &x, &y);
    swap(&x,&y);
    printf("swap! x: %d, y: %d.\n", x, y);

    return 0;

C++ Crash Course: Solutions to Exercises in Part 1, Chapter 1.

For the last while, I have been busy with ESP32 and Arduino programming, but now I finally have time to ram through this book and the exercises. There are a few repositories on Github where people have offered solutions to some of these exercises, but I find that they are often not complete. Therefore, I am endeavouring to make a more complete listing, or at least fill in some of the holes. Here is a video and a link to the repository for the solutions to Part 1, Chapter 1. The exercises can be found at the end of each chapter. I am back-tracking a bit from where I am in Part 1 Chapter 5, which is where I am currently studying.

C++ Crash Course: Solution to Exercise 3-4.

Image
My solution to Exercise 3-4 from Part 1, Chapter 3 of C++ Crash Course. This one was fairly straightforward, but it illustrates a very important thing on line 13. When you assign new_value to the reference original_ref , it assigns the value to the int that original_ref is pointing to. The result is that new_value and original both have the same value, 200.
