Discuss the manner in which Java passes parameters to a method. Is this technique consistent between primitive types and objects? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?

Java passes all parameters by value. This means that the current value of the actual parameter is copied into the formal parameter in the method header. This technique is consistent between primitive types and objects because object references rather than objects themselves are passed. When an object (actually, an object reference) is passed, the current value of the reference (the object's address) is copied into the corresponding formal parameter in the method header.
