One of the difference between C function and a java method is that the objects are passed explicitly in C and implicitly in Java,
Can any one provide an example of what implicit and explicit passing pls?
At least in Java if it’s passed by reference, the reference that gets passed, the pointer I recall it’s called in C , is a COPY of the original pointer and not the original pointer itself.
So there’s a memory area with the information about the object. Then there’s a pointer TO that memory area. When Java passes by reference, it first COPIES that pointer to the memory area, then passes that COPY of the pointer as a parameter.
This is all completely separate from the other pass by reference and pass by value distinction.
