The out Parameter in C#

In this article, I will explain how do you use out parameter in C# applications.

Introduction

The out parameter can be used to return the value in the same variable passed as a parameter of the method. Any changes made to the parameter will be reflected in the variable. It is used both places; when we declare a method and when we call the method.The following example will explain how we use the out parameter in C#.

Example

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

namespace use_out

{

    class decompose

    {

        public int Analyse(double n, out double frac)

        {

            int whole;

            whole = (int)n;

            frac = n - whole;

            return whole;

        }

    }

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            decompose of = new decompose();

            int a;

            double f;

            a = of.Analyse(10.125, out f);

            Console.WriteLine("integer part is" + a);

            Console.WriteLine("fractional part is" + f);

            Console.Read();

        }

    }

}

 

In this example we can decomposes a floating-point number into its integer and fractional parts? To do this requires that two pieces of information be returned: the integer portion and the fractional component, this method cannot be written using only a single return value. The Out modifier solves this problem
