Understanding Call by Value vs Call by Reference in Java

💡 Understanding Call by Value vs Call by Reference in Java 🔹 Call by Value In this approach, a copy of the actual value is passed to the method. Any changes made inside the method do not affect the original variable. Example: void modify(int x) { x = 50; } Here, modifying x inside the method won’t impact the original variable’s value. 🔹 Call by Reference (Conceptual) Here, instead of the value itself, the reference (or address) of the variable is passed. Changes made inside the method directly affect the original object. Example: void modify(int[] arr) { arr[0] = 50; } Since the array’s reference is passed, modifying it updates the original array. 🔸 Call by Value → Works on Copies 🔸 Call by Reference → Works on Original Data Thank you to Anand Kumar Buddarapu sir for explaining this concept clearly and guiding me through it! #Java #ProgrammingConcepts #CodingBasics #LearningJourney
