Method

Passingparametersbyvalue

Whenpassingparametersbyvalue,theactualparameterThevalueofthevariableiscopiedtothetemporarystorageunit.Ifthevalueoftheformalparameterischangedduringthecall,theactualparametervariableitselfwillnotbeaffected,thatis,theactualparametervariableremainsunchangedatthevaluebeforethecall.Whenpassingparametersbyvalue,youneedtoaddthe"ByVal"keywordbeforetheparametername.

Passingparametersbyaddress

Whenpassingparametersbyaddress,theaddressoftheactualparametervariableistransferredtothecalledprocess,andtheformalandactualparameterssharememoryThesameaddress.Intheprocessofbeingcalled,oncethevalueoftheformalparameterchanges,thevalueofthecorrespondingactualparameteralsochanges.Iftheactualparameterisaconstantorexpression,VisualBasic6.0willdealwithitinthe"passbyvalue"mode,andthe"ByVal"keywordisnotrequiredtopassbyaddress.

Example

Forthefollowingprogram,trytoanalyzetheresultsobtainedwhenpassingparametersbypassingvalues,passingaddresses,andpassingarraysTheprintresult.

PROGRAMSS(input,output);

VAR

A,B:integer;

PROCEDUREP(x,y,z:integer);

beginy:=y+1;z:=z+x;

end;

BEGIN

A:=2;b:=3;

P(A+B,A,A);

writeln('A=',A);

END

Answer

(1)Passvalue:Calculatethevalueoftheactualparameterandpassittotheformalparameter.

WhencallingprocedureP,theformalparameterx=5;y=2;z=2

WhencallingprocedureP,theformalparameterx=5;y=3;z=7

Thisdoesnotsendtheresultbacktothemainprogram,sotheresultisA=2

(2)Transferaddress:theactualparametercalculatestheresult,Sendtheaddresstotheformalparameter.

SetvariableT=A+B(resultis5).Whenexecuting,sendtheaddressesofT,A,andA(setasaddr1,addr2,addr2)totheformalparameters:

x=daar1,y=addr2,z=addr2.

T'saddressaddr1isx→T(5)

A'saddressaddr2isy→A(2)

A'saddressaddr2isz→A(2)

TheexecutionprocessPis:①y↑:=y↑+1;②z↑:=z↑+x↑

So,①isA:=A+1=3

②isA:=A+T=8.Therefore,attheendA=8.

(3)passingarray:equivalenttoexecutingA:=2;B:=3;A:=A+1;A:=A+(A+B)

writeln('A=',A);

So,theresultisA=9.
