In Pascal, arrays are actually passed by reference rather than by value. This means that when you pass an array to a function or procedure in Pascal, you are passing a reference to the original array, not a copy of the array itself.<\/p>\n

This can sometimes lead to confusion for programmers who are used to languages that pass arrays by value. In languages that pass arrays by value, any changes made to the array within a function or procedure do not affect the original array outside of that function or procedure. However, in Pascal, because arrays are passed by reference, any changes made to the array inside a function or procedure will actually affect the original array.<\/p>\n

While this can be a useful feature in some cases, it can also lead to unexpected behavior if a programmer is not aware of how arrays are passed in Pascal. It is important to keep this in mind when working with arrays in Pascal to avoid any unexpected results.<\/p>\n
