That is called passing an argument by value.
Passing an argument by value means that the method that receives the argument can not change the value of the argument. Passing an argument by reference means that the method that receives the argument can change the value of the incoming argument, and the argument may be changed in the orignal calling method.
Arguments appear in functions and in function calls. Arguments passed to a function are known as actual arguments. The arguments used by the function are known as the formal arguments. In C, all arguments are passed by value, such that the formal argument is a copy of the actual argument.
Pass by value.
Mansa Musa was an excellent leader and one of Africa's greatest Muslim kings.
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.
C++ doesn't have parameters it has arguments, both formal and actual. Actual arguments are the arguments you pass to a function. Formal arguments are the arguments used by the function and which are treated as local variables within the function body. Formal arguments always fall from scope when the function returns. In order for a function to make changes to the actual argument you you can either return the formal argument by value and assign the function to the actual argument upon return, or you can pass the argument by reference. In the former case, the returned value is temporary. If the function is not assigned to the actual argument, the temporary value falls from scope. In the latter case, the actual and formal arguments both refer to the same object through separate names (aliases). Thus any operations performed on the formal argument will affect the actual argument (they are one and the same object). Example: // Forward declarations. int byval (int); void byref (int&); int main() { int actual = 42; byval (actual); // The byval formal argument is no longer in scope. // Although a temporary value of 84 was returned, // it wasn't assigned to anything and is no longer // available. // The actual argument still has the value 42. actual = byval (actual); // The byval formal argument is no longer in scope, // however, its value was returned and assigned // to the actual argument. // The actual argument now has the value 84. byref (actual); // The formal argument and the actual argument are // one and the same argument. // The actual argument now has the value 42. } int byvalue(int formal) { formal *= 2; return formal; } // The formal argument no longer exists, but its value // was pushed into the function's return address. That // value will cease to exist unless the caller immediately // assigns the function's return value to a variable. void byref(int& formal) { formal /= 2; } // The formal argument no longer exists and nothing // was pushed onto the function's return address. // However, formal was just an alias for the actual // argument, thus the actual argument has already // been updated.
The FV and Type arguments are optional in the PMT function.
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.
In programming, an argument takes a value or vales and performs an operation is called a function or method. If a method does not return a value, it is described as 'void'.
Because you can produce fast and efficient code. Function arguments are passed "by value", and so you can't change the original value of the argument, but if you use pointers, you can.

An argument is a term that refers to keyword values in ActionScript. The number following the keyword phrase in parenthesis is used to reference the frame the keyword reaches prior to acting. It includes a user defined value for the preset keyword.
