(Solved)
Create a function in C++ called order() that takes two integer reference parameters. If the first argument is greater than the second argument, reverse the two arguments. Otherwise, take no action. That is, order the two arguments used to call order() so that, upon return, the first argument will be less than the second. For example, given
int x=1, y=0;
order(x, y);
following the call, x will be 0 and y will be 1.
