Parameters and Local Variables
Parameters and local variables are all longs (four bytes). In fact, parameters are really just
variables that are initialized to the corresponding values specified by the caller of the method.
Local variables, however, are not initialized; they contain random data whenever the method
is called.
All parameters are passed into a method by value, not by reference, so any changes to the
parameters themselves are not reflected outside of the method. For example, if we called
MoveMotor
Pos := 250
MoveMotor(Pos, 100)
When the

250.
If a variable must be altered by a routine, the caller must pass the variable by reference;
meaning it must pass the address of the variable instead of the value of the variable, and the
routine must treat that parameter as the address of a memory location in which to operate on.
The address of a variable, or other register-based symbol, can be retrieved by using the
Symbol Address operator, ‘

Passing a value by reference with the Symbol Address operator is commonly used when
providing a string variable to a method. Since string variables are really just byte arrays,
