swap(p1, p2);

writeln("p1=", p1 ); writeln(''p2='' , p2); }

the out put must be p1=20 ; p2=10

but it is not. how can i make this function work???

Hi,

here you can find an example that works

int a[i in 1..5]=i;

 execute{

function swap(p1, p2) {   

temp=a[p1]; a[p1]=a[p2]; a[p2]=temp;

}

writeln(a);
swap(2,3);
writeln(a);
}

which gives

[1 2 3 4 5]
 [1 3 2 4 5]

In your example, the values were read by the fuction, not the references

regards
