Hi KS,
If your Question is how to go about changing the values
of the local variables a,b and c by passing them to a method then i don't think it could be done.
But if you don't mind having them as instance variables
then the job becomes easy.You can do it too!!
anyway i hope i am answering your question with the following
code below
class A
{
int a = 10,b = 20, c=30;
public static void main(String [] args)
{
A x = new A();
x.test();
}
void test()
{
System.out.println("Before a = " + a);
System.out.println("Before b = " + b);
System.out.println("Before c = " + c);
A y = calculate(this);
System.out.println("after a = " + y.a);
System.out.println("after b = " + y.b);
System.out.println("after c = " + y.c);
}
A calculate(A z)
{
z.a *= 2;
z.b *= 3;
z.c *= 4;
return z;
}
}
