A comma. For example, if your method name is Method1, and you wanted to pass String a, String b, and int c to it, you would do this:
Method1(a, b, c);
If you mean 'call by value' then, it means a method of passing argument to a function in c++. In this a copy of argument is passed to function and changes are not reflected.
pass by value is the technique where a copy of the variable is passed to the method as argument. This value can be modified inside the method but that would not affect the original value. Pass by reference is the technique where the reference to the actual variable is passed to the method as argument. Any changes to this variable would affect and alter the original value. Usually primitive data types are passed by value and objects are passed by reference in java.
When a function is passed by value the calling function makes a copy of the passed argument and works on that copy. And that's the reason that any changes made in the argument value does gets reflected to the caller.
It depends on your requirements. A structure contains other objects (variables) within it. You cannot write methods in a structure. It is used as a data storage mechanism. When passed as an argument to another method, the entire contents of the structure is copied (this means that any changes you make to the structure in that method only apply to the local copy). A class contains both objects (variables), and methods that interact on those variables. Classes are the fundamental building block of object orienated applications. When passed as an argument to another method, only the pointer (or memory location) of the object is passed to the method (this means that any changes you make to the object will be visible in the original method as well, since there is only one copy of it).
Let's assume you have a method call, and a method, like this:// In the main program:int x = 5;myMethod(x, 10)...// Some lines later:void myMethod (int parameter1, int parameter2){// Do something here}The arguments - values 5 and 10 - are passed to the method, myMethod. This means a copy of these values is passed to the method, for its use. (Technically, the values are placed on the stack, where the other method accesses them.)The method will then have the values available. This allows for a method to be flexible, being able to processes different sets of data. For example, instead of writing a method to calculate the square root of 2, you write a method that calculates the square root of any number - passed as an argument.
argument
There is no such keyword in Java. In general: whether an argument is passed by value or by reference is determined by whether the argument is a primitive (by value) or an Object (by reference). In reality, it's a little more complicated. It seems to be that the actual reference you send as an argument will not change, but the data it refers to will. // This method will not cause a change in the original value. void changeArg(int[] ints) { ints = null; } // This method will. void changeArg(int[] ints) { ints[0] = 0; }
If a module is the sole possessor of a value, it will be passed by value, meaning a copy of the argument will be made and used within the module. This copy will be modified independently of any other modules or the original value.
if you have a function or a method that takes Object as a parameter, you can call that function or method and pass an Object as follows: Let's say you have a class that extends Object and a function as follows public class A extends Object { ..... } void function ( A arg ){ ..... } To call this function, you need an instance of the class A A objectInstance = new A(); function(objectInstance); The next line shows how to pass an instance of the class A to the function.
