Passing an Array of Objects

[BarneyInTechno]

hey, how would you pass an array of objects in java through the parameters? if the array was called, ver, would u jsut send it in by putting in the methodName(ver); ?

Also, how would i accept it? would i accept an array of objects the same way as an array of integers? Would it just be

public void methodName ( Objects [] blah, int size )
{
Objects []array = new Objects[size];
array = blah;
}

Is that code correct? and also if i wanted to have the array inside methodName change the one coming in through the parameters, how would id o that? thanks =)

I am fairly certain that it works just like it does in c/c++...

so you have a function that takes an array of Objects:

public void foo(Object bar[])
{
// some code
}

public static void main()
{
Object bar[450];
foo(bar);

return;
}

Java will pass in a reference to the Objects... so you are modifying the original set of objects, not a copy (unless you create some new objects by doing this:

bar = new Object[50];

inside the function). This is the standard behavior on ANY object or array you pass into a function... Java objects are all treated as pointers.
