A reference is ``kind of like'' a pointer, but it is not. A reference is
more like an ``alias'' of an object. If a reference appears on the left
hand side of an assignment operator, it is used to specify where to store
the result of the right hand side. If a reference appears on the right
hand side, it specifies the value at the location that it refers to.
