1.(2 pts) What is the difference between a call-by-reference function and a call-by-value function? As a programmer, when might you decide to use one over the other?

2.(4 pts) Write a void-function definition for a function called “zero_both” with 2 parameters, both which are variables of type int, and sets the value of both variables to 0. Describe if you picked this function to be a call-by-reference or a call-by-value AND WHY?

3.(2 pts) What is the value of the concepts of pre-condition and post-condition to programmers?

4.(4 pts) What is test coverage and why is it important in the programming process?
