You've earned yourself a fan with this video Jesse. Loving your work.

[DamnTimCan]

Thanks Jesse. I’ve been writing C# for years and needlessly making the return type of the function another instance of the type. Simple yet important info.

I have studied this many times but this is the first explanation I have received that is dumbed down enough for me to understand better than before. Thanks!

Super Helpful video was struggling understanding other videos but this one definitely is the one and only one to watch.

I'd been on the edge of despair trying and failing to understand this concept. This video saved my assignment, and me. Thank you🙏🏻

Rather than a whiteboard session, this drives the point home much clearly as to where values/references are useful and why so. thanks for your time..!!

I'm actually using Pluralsight to refamiliarise myself with C# and had to come here for clarification on Pass By Reference/Value. Great video, very articulately described. Now to cancel my Pluralsight subscription and follow the rest of your courses!

[denistrichet]

very good course ! probably the best in c#

[AlhambraDream]

Not all objects created with new are reference types. For example structs are created with new but they are value types... I think you should correct some parts of your tutorial.

[hacerclic]

Thanks! This is one of the best explanations I have seen.

[unknownsoul]

so anything with a new is a ref, so that means i can remove ref off my new list and object then...thanks

I know this is an old video, but aren't you passing the array by value as well later on in the video. From what I can understand you're passing a reference variable by value which means if you for example assign a new array to the variable inside the function then the outside array wont be changed at all but if you change the values inside the array as you did then the outside variable will be referencing the changed array as well. Basically what I'm saying is for example if you pass in an array grades with grades[0] = 50 and inside the function if you changes the grades array as grades = new int[1]{100} then when you come out of the function the value of grades[0] will still remain 50 which means you're passing a reference variable by value that is what you're passing is the value of the reference. Please correct me if I'm wrong and I'm sorry if I couldnt convey it properly. Thank You.
