The semantics of assignments are a bit more complicated for non-value types like arrays and structs.

The semantics of assignments are a bit more complicated for non-value types like arrays and structs.

Assigning *to* a state variable always creates an independent copy. On the other hand, assigning to a local variable creates an independent copy only for elementary types, i.e. static types that fit into 32 bytes. If structs or arrays (including ``bytes`` and ``string``) are assigned from a state variable to a local variable, the local variable holds a reference to the original state variable. A second assignment to the local variable does not modify the state but only changes the reference. Assignments to members (or elements) of the local variable *do* change the state.

In the example below the call to ``g(x)`` has no effect on ``x`` because it needs
|
||||||
|
to create an independent copy of the storage value in memory. However ``h(x)`` modifies ``x`` because a reference and
|
||||||
|
not a copy is passed.
