Value type and reference type: Properties of value types and reference types, Reference types vs. explicit pointers & Reference types and "call by sharing"

In certain computer programming languages, data types are classified as either value types or reference types, where values referenced by reference type variables are always implicitly accessed via references stored in those variables, whereas value type variables directly contain the values themselves.
