Question: If you were given a new block of code below, what is the result of X if X is passed by reference? [Block of code] 1. 34 2. 17 3. 43 4. 22.5 5. Not listed ____________________ This would be a much more clearer way of handling pass by ref/value. 2 of the answers are correct, so this could be reused to ask the other one. If they're being tricky, they can award half-credit for choosing the wrong pass-by-*. And 3 other answers are junk. And this abstracts out any sort of programming neologims or fetishization of $random_language.
