Anybody now what''s wrong with this code?
if(Temp == VertexNumber)
File.getline(Word,50,'','');//EOL
else
File.getline(Word,50,'';'');//LAST EOL
Perhaps you could tell what it''s supposed to do, what it does instead, and some more context (what types, classes etc.)?

shouldn''t you reference Word? as in &Word?
That would not be a reference - that would be the address-of operator.
God puts an apple tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden and says, do what you like guys, oh, but don''t eat the apple. Surprise surprise, they eat it and he leaps out from behind a bush shouting "Gotcha." It wouldn''t have made any difference if they hadn''t eaten it... because if you''re dealing with somebody who has the sort of mentality which likes leaving hats on the pavement with bricks under them you know perfectly well they won''t give up. They''ll get you in the end. -- Douglas Adams

He used "reference" as a verb. I think that it''s quite valid to say that a pointer is referring to an object.
For example, the C++ FAQ Lite uses the term "reference semantics" to designate both pointers and references.

The & is also called the reference operator, just like the * is called the dereference operator.
The reason he doesn't have to pass the address of Word is because it's probably the name of an array. It implicitly passes the address of the first element.

There''s no such thing in C++ called the "reference operator". It''s called the address-of operator.

In C there was nothing referred to as the reference operator, but in C++ the name "reference operator" is commonly used.
It's commonly called the "reference operator" in C++. Look it up.

Is one I came across rather quickly in google.
EDIT: Some people even referred to it as the reference operator in C.
This reminds me of thread where you said I was wrong for calling a member function a method. It's just 2 words for the same thing. Maybe originally it was only called the addres-of operator, but that is no longer the case.
