Question: Arrays • How many array variables are in the following code:Dim xDim yDim f(4) x = 12 y = 6 f(2) = 21 1
Question: Arrays • How many errors are in the following code:Dim xDim yDim f(4) f = 3 y(3) = 6 f(1) = 19 f(5) = 21
Session Aims & Objectives • Aims • To introducepassing parameters/arguments to procedures to make them more general purpose • Objectives, after this week’s sessions, you should be able to: • use parameters in your programs to make procedures more flexible • distinguish between formal and actual parameters • pass parameters by reference and by value • identify and correct parameter errors
Example: Clock (analysis) • SPECIFICATION • User Requirements • to know what the time is • Software Requirements • Functional: • display current time in analogue (traditional clock face) format • Non-functionalshould be easy to read
Example: Clock (user interface) • 14 objects: • 12 numbers • mid point • second point (moving)
Example: Clock v0 (HTML) <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> <div id=div1 style="position: absolute;">1</div> <div id=div2 style="position: absolute;">2</div> <div id=div3 style="position: absolute;">3</div> <div id=div4 style="position: absolute;">4</div> <div id=div5 style="position: absolute;">5</div> <div id=div6 style="position: absolute;">6</div> <div id=div7 style="position: absolute;">7</div> <div id=div8 style="position: absolute;">8</div> <div id=div9 style="position: absolute;">9</div> <div id=div10 style="position: absolute;">10</div> <div id=div11 style="position: absolute;">11</div> <div id=div12 style="position: absolute;">12</div> <img id=imgMid style="position: absolute;" src="dot.gif" /> <img id=imgSec style="position: absolute;" src="dot.gif" /> </body> </html>
Example: Clock v1 (HTML) • Remove 'hard coded' tags <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> <img id=imgMid style="position: absolute;" src="dot.gif" /> <img id=imgSec style="position: absolute;" src="dot.gif" /> </body> </html>

Memory Addresses • Memory addresses - keep track of where variables are stored in memory • Every byte (position) in memory has a memory address: • e.g. variable identified by name xstored at location 63542(address of the first byte of data for variable x) Computer Memory 0 63542 x 23 Identifier Value
Parameter Passing Methods • 2 ways to pass parameters to procedures: • Passing by Value: literalvalue is passed from the call to the definitionSub Change1(ByVal x) …End Sub • Passing by Reference: variable’s memory address (a reference to the variables position in memory) is passed from the call to the definitionSub Change2(ByRef y) …End Sub
Why pass by reference? Change Set ByVal x ByRef x • Previously, used parameters to pass data into a procedure (input) • Pass by reference, allows: • the procedure to change the value of the passed variable • data to be input and output via parameters
What can be passed • Pass by value – both literals and variables can be passed (variables are substituted by their value)Change1 y Change1 21 • Pass by reference – only variables can be passed (in fact the variable’s memory address is passed)Change2 y literals cannot be passed – they have no memory address Change2 21 ERROR
Two results? integer (total) TotAve double (average) • Total and Average algorithms share a lot of code • Useful to combine them • TotAve procedure:
Example: Total and Average Sub TotAve(ByRef T, ByRef A) Dim i T = 0 For i = 1 to 5 T = T + Nums(i) Next A = T / 5 End Sub tot = 0 ave = 0 TotAve tot, ave ' What is the value of ave and tot? var T TotAve var A
Questions: Parameter Passing • Consider the following code: Dim a Sub Add(ByRef item, ByVal extra) item = item + extra End Sub a = 5 • What is the value of a, after each of these: Add a, 3 Add a, a Add 4, 4 8 16 Error – cannot pass 4 by reference
Tutorial Exercise: Clock • LEARNING OBJECTIVE: • use parameters provided by event procedures • Task 1: Get the Clock (v2) example (from the lecture) working. • Task 2: Modify your code – display lots of dots for the second hand (as per v3). • Task 3: Modify your code – add an hour and minute hand
