This Java code can be broken into two parts:
1. The changeParams
Method
The method changeParams
takes the following parameters:
int k
: A single integer value.int[] A
: An array of integers.String s
: A string.
Within the method:
k++
: This increments the local copy of the integerk
by 1. However, sincek
is passed by value in Java, the changes tok
inside the method won't affect the originalk
outside.A[0]++
: This increments the first element of the arrayA
by 1. In Java, arrays are passed by reference, so this change will reflect in the original arrayA
outside the method.s += "X"
: This appends the character"X"
to the local copy of the strings
. Strings in Java are immutable and passed by value, so this change will not reflect in the original strings
outside the method.
2. The print
Method
When print
is executed:
int k = 0;
initializesk
to0
.int[] A = {10, 20};
initializes an arrayA
with two elements.String s = "aaa";
initializes the strings
with the value"aaa"
.changeParams(k, A, s)
is then called:- Within
changeParams
,k
will be incremented to1
(local to the method, doesn't affect the passedk
inprint
). - The first element of array
A
will be incremented from10
to11
. - The string
s
will be updated to"aaaX"
(local to the method, doesn't affect the originals
inprint
).
- Within
- Finally,
System.out.println(k + "" + A[0] + "" + s);
is executed:k
remains0
because it was passed by value and changes to it inchangeParams
did not affect the original.A[0]
is now11
because the change in the array insidechangeParams
affects the original due to passing by reference.s
is still"aaa"
because strings are immutable and passed by value.
Output:
When print
is executed, the output will be:
011aaa
Key Notes:
- Primitive types like
int
are passed by value in Java, so changes inside the method do not affect the original variable. - Arrays are passed by reference, so modifications to their contents within a method affect the original array.
- Strings are immutable, and when passed to a method, their value cannot be directly altered outside of the method.
