Output method

An output parameter is used for output parameter passing. An output parameter is similar to a reference parameter except that the initial value of the caller-provided argument is unimportant. An output parameter is declared with the out modifier. The following example shows the use of out parameters.

using System;
class Test
{
	static void Divide(int x, int y, out int result, out int remainder) {
		result = x / y;
		remainder = x % y;
	}
	static void Main() {
		int res, rem;
		Divide(10, 3, out res, out rem);
		Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", res, rem);	// Outputs "3 1"
	}
}
