About Passing Reference

As others have said, you should use the ref modifier at both the call site and the method declaration to indicate that you want to use by-reference semantics. However, you should understand how by-value and by-reference semantics interact with the quotvalue typequot vs quotreference typequot model of .NET. I have two articles on this Parameter passing in C

By default, arguments in C are passed to functions by value.That means a copy of the variable is passed to the method. For value struct types, a copy of the value is passed to the method.For reference class types, a copy of the reference is passed to the method.Parameter modifiers enable you to pass arguments by reference.. Because a struct is a value type, the method receives and

In c, passing a value type parameter to a method by reference means passing a reference of the variable to the method. So the changes made to the parameter inside the called method will affect the original data stored in the argument variable. Using the ref keyword, we can pass parameters reference-type.It's mandatory to initialize the variable value before passing it as an argument to the

Pass Variables by Reference to a Function in C. We can also pass a value type variable by reference with the ref keyword in C. The ref keyword specifies that a value is passed by reference to a function. With this approach, there will only exist one copy of the variable in the memory, and a separate pointer will be passed to the function that points to the value of the variable.

Passing by reference means passing the original data location in memory. That means any modifications within the method affect the original variable value. Built-in types and struct types in C are passed by value by default. Passing by reference is the default behavior for arrays and classes.

In C, it passes a reference of arguments to the function. The changes in passed values are permanent and modify the original variable values. The Reference types won't store variable values directly in the memory. Rather, it will store the memory address of the variable value to indicate where the value is being stored.

Note If you want to achieve Call by Reference in C, you must have to use either the out or ref keyword, regardless of whether the argument type is a value type or a reference type. In our upcoming article, we will discuss the need and use of ref and out keywords in detail. Difference between Call by Value and Call by Reference in C

Pass by Value vs Pass by Reference in C Sharp. In C, there are two ways to pass arguments to a function call by value and by reference. In this article, you will see how to pass function arguments by value and by reference. You will also see the difference between the two methods. So, let's begin without any ado.

In a method signature and in a method call, to pass an argument to a method by reference. public void Mref int refParameter refParameter 42 In a method signature, to return a value to the caller by reference. For more information, see ref return.

Pass by Reference In C, when we pass an argument to a method by reference, a reference to the memory location of the argument is passed to the method. This means that any changes made to the parameter inside the method will affect the original argument outside the method. Let's take an example to understand pass by reference
