Arrays & Structures
 

Can structures be passed to the functions by value?

Why cannot arrays be passed by values to functions?

Please explain.

Yes, you can pass a struct by value, but it is rarely done.

Presumably arrays cannot be passed by value for two reasons:

1. Arrays can be huge, and since passing by value means
   making a copy of it, it would be very inefficient.
2. The compiler does not know the size of a dynamic array.

Actually, you can put a (non-dynamic) array into a struct
and pass it by value that way!
