Parameter-Passing Methods of the Major Languages:

• FORTRAN

                  Before 77, pass-by-reference
• ALGOL 60

                 Introduce pass-by-name.     option on pass-by-value
• C

                 pass-by-value 
        (but value can be pointer, it will behave like pass-by-reference)
• C++

                 pass-by-value, pass-by-reference, and pointers
• Java

                 All parameters are pass-by-value
        Object parameters are passed by reference
• Ada

                 in, out, in-out    (Page 365)

                procedure ADDER(A : in out INTEGER;
                                 B : in INTEGER;
                                 C : out FLOAT)

• ALGOL W  introduced the pass-by-value-result method as an alternative of pass-by-name and pass-by-reference

 
• PASCAL   and  MODULA-2    default on pass-by-value.   use var to perform pass-by-reference.
