Objects and References

Assignment with References to Objects:

Two logical operations available:

1. The operator = (assignment)

• It assigns references to objects, i.e., it  manipulates the pointers.

• Used in the form: str1 = str2

2. The method clone( )

• It copies the object itself.

• Used in the form: str1 = str2.clone( );

• Not available for all types (requires  cloneable interface; interfaces to be  discussed later).
