Also depends on what one wants the function to do.

void func(int &a){a++; return;}

For instance would take an integer without any special  notation and
increment it.

void func(int * a) {a++; return;}
Theoretically does the same thing, but wants either a pointer to an int,
or an integer specifically notated as &a.


Of course my logic is based more off of C++.
