I'm learning JAVA and read that EVERYTHING in JAVA is passed by copy and that in the case of objects the internal variables share a reference but that objects are also passed by copy.

I'm trying to think of a piece of code that would demonstrate this but can't think of anything off the top of my head.

Thanks.
