      • ByVal passes a copy of the variable, changes made within the function do not affect the original variable.
      • ByRef passes a reference to the variable, changes made within the function affect the original variable.

      Choosing between ByVal and ByRef depends on whether you want the called function to have the ability to modify the original variable or not.
