You should have Stroustrups's "The C++ Programming Language", which is the C++ equivalent of K&R for C. https://www.amazon.com/C-Programming-Language-4th/dp/0321563840 It's not cheap, but its the bible of C++. Stroustrup invented it after all.

I lost my copy of K&R a long time ago. My version was pre-ANSI, which meant that there was no void, and no function prototypes, among other things, and function definitions looked like
C
foo(x, y)
int x;
int y;
{
   /* function body */
}
I'd be willing to bet even K&R that old explained the difference between "pass by value" and "pass by reference" i.e the difference between making a copy of an object and passing that to the function (pass by value, possibly expensive), and passing a pointer to a an object (pass by reference, usually cheap. But at least in C may lead to off-by-one and other assorted bugs. NB. An array is always passed by reference.). In C++ we have references. [Reference declaration - cppreference.com]
