🚀 Day 49 of 180 – Java Full Stack Journey Today, I explored an interesting concept in Java — Shallow Copying 🧩 🔹 What I Learned: In Java, shallow copy is used when we want to create an exact duplicate of an object. It copies the object’s field values, but if the object contains references to other objects, those references are shared between the original and the copied object. ⚠️ Key Takeaway: The main disadvantage of shallow copying is that changes made to the copied object also reflect in the original object, since both share the same reference. 🔍 I also learned about the clone() method, which is commonly used to perform shallow copying in Java. I practiced this concept through a problem to understand how cloning works in real time. 💡 Simple Real-Life Example: Imagine three students joining the same institute for a Java Full Stack course. All three have the same course, same fees, and same institute location. Instead of writing separate details for each student, we can create one set of data (like course fees and place) for the first student and copy it for the other two — this is similar to using shallow copy. However, if one student later shifts to another branch and we update their institute location, the change also affects the original student’s data, since both share the same reference. 👉 To avoid this issue, we use Deep Copy, where a complete and independent copy of the object is made — and that’s what I’ll be learning tomorrow! 🎥 I’ve attached a short video/pictures demonstrating my code and output for better understanding. Every day is a step forward in mastering Java and Object-Oriented Programming! 💪 #JavaLearning #JavaProgramming #CoreJava #JavaDeveloper #CodingJourney #CodeNewbie #ProgrammersLife #LearnToCode #OOPsConcepts #CloningInJava #ShallowCopy #DeepCopy #TechLearning #SoftwareDevelopment #FullStackDeveloper #DeveloperJourney #StudentDeveloper #100DaysOfCode #DailyLearning #CodingCommunity #WomenInTech #TechEducation #CodeEveryday #DeveloperMindset #LearningNeverStops
