Would greatly appreciate help from anyone...
In this example, I don't understand why the string constant
"incr10(pnum) = "
doesn't appear in the output prior to the output that occurs due to the function being executed.

Thank you,
yetri56

cout << endl
     << "incr10(pnum) = " << incr10(pnum);

As I understood, to start the output, the 'cout' needs the return of the function incr10(pnum), because the return of the function has to become immediately after the string "incr10(pnum) =".

So, first of all, the 'cout' calls the function. The function is starting and outputs first of all :

    cout << endl
         << "Address received = " << num;


and only after getting the return from the function, the 'cout' will start the output...

I hope I answered a little bit your question...

rgds,
