That rather depends on whether this is a C or C++ question but generally you can pass a pointer to an array or a reference to an array. Since references aren't a part of C can can only pass a pointer which is passing a pointer by value not passing an array at all. C++ can pass an array by reference.

Neither will pass an array by value.
