Question

I’m trying to develop a Data Structure in Java and I’m facing a problem that I just can’t solve. I have a reference to an object, and, after copying it, I want to change the original reference using only the copy. For example:

Point a = new Point(0,0);
Point b = a;
b = new Point(5,5);

I want “a” to point to “new Point(5,5)” too, and not only “b”. Is there anyway to do that?

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Point a; // no need to instantiate
Point b = new Point(5,5);
a = b;
