[c#] Difference between ref and out parameters in .NET

Example for OUT : Variable gets value initialized after going into the method. Later the same value is returned to the main method.

namespace outreftry
{
    class outref
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            yyy a = new yyy(); ;

            // u can try giving int i=100 but is useless as that value is not passed into
            // the method. Only variable goes into the method and gets changed its
            // value and comes out. 
            int i; 

            a.abc(out i);

            System.Console.WriteLine(i);
        }
    }
    class yyy
    {

        public void abc(out int i)
        {

            i = 10;

        }

    }
}

Output:

10

===============================================

Example for Ref : Variable should be initialized before going into the method. Later same value or modified value will be returned to the main method.

namespace outreftry
{
    class outref
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            yyy a = new yyy(); ;

            int i = 0;

            a.abc(ref i);

            System.Console.WriteLine(i);
        }
    }
    class yyy
    {

        public void abc(ref int i)
        {
            System.Console.WriteLine(i);
            i = 10;

        }

    }
}

Output:

    0
    10

Hope its clear now.
