Ptr vs Ref for Output Params

TL;DR

Why pass-by-ptr is better than pass-by-ref for output params in C++
This is recommended by Google C++ style guide (used in industry)

Video Overview

C++ double variables and add function example
Output params - pass variable by reference
Output params - pass variable as a pointer
Which approach is better (simpler, readable, maintainable, code story)
- Prefer using return values over output params (if possible)
- Google C++ style guide recommends the pointer approach
