 When the first parameter of a method includes the `this` modifier, that method is said to be an ***extension method***. Extension methods shall only be declared in non-generic, non-nested static classes. The first parameter of an extension method is restricted, as follows:
 
-- It may only be an input parameter if it has a value type
-- It may only be a reference parameter if it has a value type or has a generic type constrained to struct
+- It may only be an input parameter if it has a value type.
+- It may only be a reference parameter if it has a value type or has a generic type constrained to struct.
+- It shall not be an output parameter.
 - It shall not be a pointer type.
 
 > *Example*: The following is an example of a static class that declares two extension methods:
