PASS BY VALUE AND PASS BY REFERENCE IN C#

(REF AND OUT KEYWORDS)

PASS BY VALUE
5

PassByValue(value); 15 console.writeline(“value is: ” + a);
console.writeline(value); }
}

static void Main(string[] args) {
{ a = a + 10;
15

abc
console.writeline(“value is: ” + a);
int value = 5; }
PassByRef(ref value);15
console.writeline(value);

PASS BY REFERENCE (REF KEYWORD)


 The ref keyword causes arguments to be passed in a method by reference.
 In call by reference, the called method changes the value of the parameters
passed to it from the calling method.
 Any changes made to the parameters in the called method will be reflected
in the parameters passed from the calling method when control passes
back to the calling method.
 It is necessary that both the called method and the calling method must
explicitly specify the ref keyword before the required parameters.
 The variables passed by reference from the calling method must be first
initialized.

OUT KEYWORD
 The out keyword is similar to the ref keyword and causes arguments to be
passed by reference.
 The only difference between the two is that the out keyword does not
require the variables that are passed by reference to be initialized.
 Both the called method and the calling method must explicitly use the out
keyword.
