Something like the following:
ref example:
void changeString(ref String str) {
str = "def";
}
void main() {
String abc = "abc";
changeString(ref abc);
System.out.println(abc); //prints "def"
}
out example:
void changeString(out String str) {
str = "def";
}
void main() {
String abc;
changeString(out abc);
System.out.println(abc); //prints "def"
}
Direct answer: No
But you can simulate reference with wrappers.
And do the following:
void changeString( _<String> str ) {
str.s("def");
}
void testRef() {
_<String> abc = new _<String>("abc");
changeString( abc );
out.println( abc ); // prints def
}
Out
void setString( _<String> ref ) {
str.s( "def" );
}
void testOut(){
_<String> abc = _<String>();
setString( abc );
out.println(abc); // prints def
}
And basically any other type such as:
_<Integer> one = new <Integer>(1);
addOneTo( one );
out.println( one ); // May print 2
