In function template(generic programming) - example section , the notes say: " The call xchg<double, double>(intA, intB) would be fine, when xchg would take its arguments by value". I tried creating a function called xchgv with arguments as T value instead of T& (reference)
template // 2a
void xchgv(T x, T y){
T t = x;
x = y;
y = t;
}
and I am getting this error when I call
std::cout << "Before: " << doubleA << ", " << doubleB << std::endl;
xchg(doubleA, doubleB); // 2
std::cout << "After: " << doubleA << ", " << doubleB << std::endl;
