Ref vs out. C #

Ref is the address for passing parameters, and out is the return value. There are some similarities between the two, but there are also differences.

You must assign values to variables before using ref.

The out function will clear the variable, even if the variable has been assigned a value, it will not work. When exiting the function, all variables referenced by the out function will be assigned a value, and the ref reference can be modified or not modified.

For the differences, see the followingCode:

Using system; Class testapp

{Static void outtest (Out int X, out int y)

{// Assign values to X and Y before leaving this function; otherwise, an error is returned.

// Y = X;

// The above line reports an error, because after the out is used, both X and Y are cleared, and the value must be assigned again, even if the value is assigned before the function is called, x = 1; y = 2;

}

Static void reftest (ref int X, ref int y)

{

X = 1; y = X;

}

Public static void main ()

{// Out Test

Int A, B; // before use, the variable can be not assigned a value

Outtest (out a, out B );

Console. writeline ("A = {0}; B = {1}", a, B );

Int c = 11, D = 22;

Outtest (out C, out d );

Console. writeline ("c = {0}; D = {1}", C, D );

// Ref Test

Int M, N;

// Reftest (ref M, ref N );

// The above line will go wrong. Before using ref, the variable must be assigned a value

Int o = 11, P = 22;

Reftest (ref o, ref P );

Console. writeline ("O = {0}; P = {1}", O, P );}

}
