v). void print(float data[],size=20);
5 Marks
c) State with a reason whether the following statements are true or false.
i). Function argument is a value returned by the function to the calling
program.
ii). When a function returns a value, the entire function can be assigned to
variable.
iii). When argument is passed by value the function works with the original
arguments in the calling program.
iv). A function can return a value by reference.
v). When argument is passed by reference, a temporary variable is created in the
calling program to hold the argument value.
5 Marks
d) Explain the following terms as used in object technology
i). Message passing

Include a constructor that takes arguments for each field. Also include a String
class variable named material and initialize it to “cotton”. Write a program
TestShirt to instantiate 3 Shirt objects with different collar sizes and sleeve
lengths, and then display all the data, including material, for each shirt.
