Is Java pass by reference or pass by value?
I see. Can you explain the difference between pass by value and pass by reference?
In pass by value, a copy of the actual value is passed to the method. Any changes made to the parameter inside the method does not affect the original variable value outside of the method. In pass by reference, a reference to the actual variable is passed into the method, which means any changes made to the parameter inside the method will affect the original value outside of the method.
