B4: Data Flow
Learning Goals
-
You need to be able to determine the value of a variable…
- by reading code, and using the debugger
- by tracing the value passed into a method
- by tracing the value returned by a method
- by determining if there are duplicate references to the same object
- by understanding the scope of variables

}Q4: BONUS
What does this print?
What happens to the argument when we reassign a parameter's value?
- Nothing, if it's of a primitive type rather than a reference to an object.
- Nothing, because the parameter's value is in its own space in memory.
