Hi, Hugo !
Never mind that: it is usual that people in lists pay attention to
usual posters.
Your explanation was clear and straightforward, however it was also short.
At least for the time being, i don't need any other document to teach
me Python parameter passing semantics.
All the best,

Haha, well, at least someone noticed my explanation. I should probably
refer you to Steven's dissertation of same, though, I think most would
prefer it to mine.
Hi, Hugo !
Excellent explanation. Thank you.

Generally, pass-by-* refers to how the arguments to functions are treated.

Pass by value is exactly what it sounds like - you pass the value (a copy of
everything in the memory). This is bad

1) Python is free!
2) Python indices start at 0!
3) Python has way better GUIs
4) Python can emulate a lot of Matlab functionality with matplotlib and numpy
5) Matlab has a rather limited number of data structures
6) Matlab doesn't have anything like the third party support for almost
anything

What advantages does Python have over MATLAB as a programming language, (not
the computing environment of MATLAB)?
Also, wikipedia says Python is an interpreted language, what does that mean?
