How to pass reference parameters as PHP in JavaScript? [duplicate]

Question

my question is as simple as this: How can I pass parameters as reference or as value in JavaScript as I could do in PHP.

Example with PHP:

    function increase(&$value){ 
        $value++;
        return $value; 
    }
    $number = 4;
    echo increase($number) . "<br/>";
    echo $number;

How can I accomplish something similar with JavaScript?

Thank you and Blessings.

Assign the return value to a variable.

const nextNumber = increase(number);
console.log(nextNumber);

where increase does the same thing as your PHP function:

function increase($value){ 
    $value++;
    return $value; 
}

It's the same as in @ReynaldRamirez's code. Increment a variable and return it.

Your code doesn't work the same as in PHP. If you will run increase multiple times in JS it will always return the same value, but in PHP it will increase value every time. So in JS if you will pass 4 it will return always 5, but in PHP it will return 5, 6, 7, etc.
