Hi guys,
I have a small doubt regarding pointers and functions.
Consider the following prototype
void insert(bst * head, int data);
This function creates a node and inserts the data in the node. Lets say i
call this function iteratively from main.
main(){
bst* record=NULL;
insert(record, 5);
insert(record, 8);
}
I see that record is not getting modified. Now is this related to call by
value. But since we are passing pointers shouldnt the change get reflected
in main.
isnt is similar to passing an array?
Enlighten me in this regard. I am tired of segfaults :(
