[chuck-users] passing by reference

[eduard]

Hello all,

I am trying to pass an integer by reference, but I can't get it  
right. Could any one help me on this?
What I tried works fine for arrays, but not for integers only. Code  
is below.

Thanks

Eduard

int a[10];

for(0 => int i; i < 10 ; i++) 10 - i => a[i];
PrintArray( a );  // passing array by reference works fine or am I  
not referencing?
IsInArray( a, 8, 10); // ok
15 => int value;
<<<"value before modification is: ", value >>>;
ModifyValue( value, 35 );  // seems it's not correct
<<<"value after modification is: " , value >>>;
ModifyArray( a ); // ok
PrintArray( a ); // ok
