I'm trying to understand the concept of 'ref' in programming. Could someone explain what it does and how it's used in different contexts? I'm particularly interested in its function and applications.

When dealing with value types such as integers (int) and floating-point numbers (float), the ref keyword becomes particularly useful.

Instead of creating a copy of the variable, it allows the method to directly access and modify the original data.
