What is the benefit of using a call by reference when working with vectors or queue objects? In other words, why is it good to pass a reference of a queue or vector to a function instead of using a call by value?

What will be an ideal response?


When you pass a variable to a function in a call by value, the variable is copied in the called function. If you pass a vector or a queue to a function, you probably don’t want the vector copied (i.e., make a new, second vector). It is more efficient to pass by reference when using vectors or queues.
