Passing addresses as parameters is referred to as pass by reference because the function receives a reference to the original data in memory, allowing it to modify the data outside of its local scope. Pass by value, call by value, and pass by copy are all ways to pass data that do not involve passing addresses. Passing addresses is referred to as pass by reference where the address of the variable is passed instead of the actual value. This allows the called function to directly access and modify the variable in the calling function.
