Pass-by-Value vs Pass-by-Reference: A Simple Explanation

Pass-by-Value vs Pass-by-Reference Pass-by-Value: When a variable is passed to a function, a copy of the value is made. Any changes inside the function don’t affect the original variable. Pass-by-Reference: Here, instead of a copy, a reference (or address) to the original variable is passed. So, any change made inside the function directly affects the original variable. For simple term : Pass-by-Value = “I made a copy for you.” Pass-by-Reference = “You’re using the original one.” #Programming #CodingConcepts #SoftwareDevelopment #Learning #ComputerScience
