C# - Passing Parameters by Output

 class NumberManipulator {
      public void getValue(out int x ) {
         int temp = 5;
         x = temp;
      }
      static void Main(string[] args) {
         NumberManipulator n = new NumberManipulator();
         
         /* local variable definition */
         int a = 100;
         
         Console.WriteLine("Before method call, value of a : {0}", a);
         
         /* calling a function to get the value */
         n.getValue(out a);

         Console.WriteLine("After method call, value of a : {0}", a);
         Console.ReadLine();
      }
   }


Before method call, value of a : 100
After method call, value of a : 5
