I do not understand what is going on. I am just learning C++ and I see something like this a lot:
double some_function(const Struct_Name& s) {
...
}
Why the const if we are passing by reference?

constreference prevents the object from being modified, asconstwould anywhere else, but also avoids the potential cost of copying.
