Ugh, this explains a lot! Books by Herbert Schildt are, sit venia verbo, the most useless utter crap you can get. The only thing this book documents is the total incompetence of its author. Have a good laugh, see https://www.lysator.liu.se/c/schildt.html for a post mortem of his infamous "The Annotated ANSI C Standard". If you want an overall introductory book to C, get K&R2, written by someone who understood C, if only because he invented the language. :P If you want an authoritative reference, get the ISO standard. Or get Plauger's "C Library Reference" as, well, library reference. Ceterum censeo: There is no pass by reference in C, has never been, and will presumably never be. Heck, the C standard doesn't mention the concept at all, not even in a non-normative foot note!
