Objects aren’t passed at all. By default, the argument is evaluated and its value is passed, by value, as the initial value of the parameter of the method you’re calling. Now the important point is that the value is a reference for reference types – a way of getting to an object (or null). Changes … Read more
CODE 1 CODE 2 CODE 1 and CODE 2 both give same output. but argument 2 of main function in CODE 1 and CODE 2 are different. Array of pointers are created above data section at compile time. argv is array of pointers. Then we should declare argument in main function as pointer to pointer … Read more
I found a good explanation at Pass-By-Name Parameter Passing. Essentially, the body of a function is interpreted at call time after textually substituting the actual parameters into the function body. In this sense the evaluation method is similar to that of C preprocessor macros. By substituting the actual parameters into the function body, the function … Read more
C does not really have multi-dimensional arrays, but there are several ways to simulate them. The way to pass such arrays to a function depends on the way used to simulate the multiple dimensions: 1) Use an array of arrays. This can only be used if your array bounds are fully determined at compile time, … Read more
Just like any other simple command, [ … ] or test requires spaces between its arguments. Or Suggestions When in Bash, prefer using [[ ]] instead as it doesn’t do word splitting and pathname expansion to its variables that quoting may not be necessary unless it’s part of an expression. It also has some other … Read more
Tested as working: Call it with Multiple parameters syntax (comments are optional, but allowed): And some example for advanced parameters, e.g. Mandatory: A default value will not work with a mandatory parameter. You can omit the =$true for advanced parameters of type boolean [Parameter(Mandatory)].
With params you can call your method like this: Without params, you can’t. Additionally, you can call the method with an array as a parameter in both cases: That is, params allows you to use a shortcut when calling the method. Unrelated, you can drastically shorten your method:
Parameters in calls to functions in PowerShell (all versions) are space-separated, not comma separated. Also, the parentheses are entirely unneccessary and will cause a parse error in PowerShell 2.0 (or later) if Set-StrictMode -Version 2 or higher is active. Parenthesised arguments are used in .NET methods only.
The *args and **kwargs is a common idiom to allow arbitrary number of arguments to functions as described in the section more on defining functions in the Python documentation. The *args will give you all function parameters as a tuple: The **kwargs will give you all keyword arguments except for those corresponding to a formal parameter as a dictionary. Both idioms can be mixed with normal arguments to … Read more
Java is always pass-by-value. Unfortunately, when we deal with objects we are really dealing with object-handles called references which are passed-by-value as well. This terminology and semantics easily confuse many beginners. It goes like this: In the example above aDog.getName() will still return “Max”. The value aDog within main is not changed in the function foo with the Dog “Fifi” as the object reference is passed by value. If it … Read more
