// Ordinary free-standing reference:
int y;
int& r = y;
// When a reference is created, it must 
// be initialized to a live object. 
// However, you can also say:
const int& q = 12;  // (1)
// References are tied to someone else's storage:
int x = 0;          // (2)
int& a = x;         // (3)
int main() {
  cout << "x = " << x << ", a = " << a << endl;
  a++;
  cout << "x = " << x << ", a = " << a << endl;
