CLR Class Library

Before C# language there was C/C++ languages. Compiler The .NET Framework class library is a library of classes,
compile code written in Native Language for the machine interfaces, and value types that provide access to system
to understand. In this way for instance, applications for functionality. It is the foundation on which .NET Framework
Windows may not run on Linux. applications, components, and controls are built.

But in C# code is not translated to Native Code. The idea is System

borrowed from Java, when code is translated to Byte Code, System.Drawing
but in C# it is called IL Code (Intermediate Language). System.Linq
System.Threading
It is independent on computer on which it is running. System.Runtime
Now we need something that translates the code the code System.Windows
to Native Code and that is the job of CLR (common System.Net
language runtime). This process is called Just-In-Time Microsoft.CSharp
Compilation (JIT). …

REF int a = 20;

SomeFunction(ref a);

to 22 without ref public void AddNumbers(ref int d) {
keyword a would d = d + 2;
remain 20. }

Console.WriteLine(a);
OUT int a = 20;
SomeFunction(out a);
But in out you need
initialize variables public void AddNumbers(out int d) {
and your passed d = 0;
variable is not d = d + 2;
taken inside the }
function as ref, just
modified. Console.WriteLine(a);
