Another question regarding arrays

[Ben Buchli]

Hi everybody,

is

int[] newArray = arrayReferencePassedAsMethodParameter.clone();

equals to copying the returned array into a new array? I mean, do I make sure that I dont refer to the reference that could be modified somewhere else?

Thanks in advance,
Ben

Yep. It is safe as long as it is an array of primitive datatypes.
