The caller would be able to invoke the following method:

static void Main(string[] args)

{

Console.WriteLine("***** Fun with Methods *****");

...

int i; string str; bool b;

FillTheseValues(out i, out str, out b);

Console.WriteLine("Int is: {0}", i);

Console.WriteLine("String is: {0}", str);

Console.WriteLine("Boolean is: {0}", b);

Console.ReadLine();

}

Finally, remember that methods that define output parameters must assign the parameter to a

valid value before exiting the methods. Therefore, the following method will result in a compiler

error, as the integer parameter has not been assigned within the method scope:

static void ThisWontCompile(out int a)

{

Console.WriteLine("This is an error...");

}
