I thought I understood variable scope until I came across this bit of code:
private static void someMethod(int i, Account a) {
i++;
a.deposit(5);
a = new Account(80);
}
int score = 10;
Account account = new Account(100);
someMethod(score, account);
System.out.println(score); // prints 10
System.out.println(account.balance); // prints 105!!!
EDIT: I understand why a=new Account(80) would not do anything but I'm confused about a.deposit(5) actually working since a is just a copy of the original Account being passed in...
