Afraid you are mistaken. There is no such thing as pass by reference in Java®.ubey bey wrote:. . . there is such a thing as passing by value(copy) or passing by reference in Java.
I thought that line is easy to understand. There is nothing unusual about having two StringBuilder objects. I think you need to follow the execution with a pencil and note which object is pointed to by which reference. Also write down the contents of each StringBuilder.. . . second line it also creates new stringbuilder object, this why is so confuesing.
any other explanations?
