Passing a value and passing a reference explained below. Below is the simple example which shows how to use these in python.

What is Pass by value
What is pass by value? Passing a value as an argument to the function. The pass-by-value concept explained in three steps.
- Create a function
- pass value as an argument to the function
- to verify the result
A literal (20) as an argument supplied here. So it is called pass-by-value.
def my_pass_by_value(b):
b += 2
print(b)
c=my_pass_by_value(20)
print(c)
The result:
22
None
** Process exited - Return Code: 0 **
Press Enter to exit terminal
What is Pass by reference
Supplying a reference instead of value is called pass-by-refefence. The working principle you can see in the below example.
- Create a function
- pass reference as an argument to the function
- to verify the result
The below example tells how pass-by-reference works. Value not supplied, instead of the value provided a variable (reference).
def my_pass_by_reference(r):
r += 10
print(r)
ref1=100
h=my_pass_by_reference(ref1)
print(h)
The result
110
None
** Process exited - Return Code: 0 **
Press Enter to exit terminal
