Value and Reference types

Question

Hello, I am new to java and am unable to understand the difference between the value and Reference types in classes. Can someone please describe it a bit clearly? Is it similar to the pass by value and pass by reference thing as in C, C++. Please elaborate.

Answer 1

Java is pass-by-value

Answer 2

Then can u please explain the difference between value and Reference types

Answer 3

Ruchika Sehgal Their is no type difference between value and referenced. Not that I know of.

The only difference is that Pass by value will create a copy *value* at a new memory address, while Pass by reference uses the same memory address of whatever was passed in.
