Complex Class Problem - How to save data in the Complex Array?

I have a Complex Class, and I have added a Root() function to calculate nth roots... https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/314267/?ref=app Now, Instead of putting k and getting a root, I decided to pass a Complex Array and save the roots in it... That works... and printing the elements 'inside the function' shows all the correct roots... Complex array = Complex *z; Then did = z= new Complex[100]; And assigned the values in a for loop of k = for(k=0;k<n;k++) { z[k]=Complex(real_pt,imag_pt); } Now,the problem

Is that, on calling the function with an actual argument, the values in it are unchanged! How to ensure that the changes are reflected here as well? Isn't a pointer/array passed by reference? //Of course it is, it is memory itself... Then why is it happening? Please help!

Also, If I make the function return the pointer array instead, the values are altered... But why are they the same if I pass the pointer as an argument?

@JPM7 But why does it work with returning? And secondly, Isn't a vector nothing but a class containing pointer memory altered using new and delete?
