Complete Java SE 8 Developer Bootcamp - Pass By Value: Primitives

The video tutorial covers the concept of method invocation in programming, focusing on how parameters are passed to methods. It explains the difference between passing primitives and object references by value, using examples to illustrate how these concepts manifest in code execution. The tutorial also delves into program structure, stack frames, and how methods are executed, providing insights into how variables can be modified within methods. Techniques for affecting original variables through return values are also discussed.

What is the common term used for invoking a method?

• Calling a method

• Executing a method

• Starting a method

• Running a method

When passing a primitive to a method, what is actually passed?

• The type of the primitive

• The address of the primitive

• The value of the primitive

• The reference of the primitive

What is passed when an object reference is passed to a method?

• The object itself

• The value of the object

• The class of the object

• A reference to the object

In the Java program setup, what is the main method responsible for?

• Defining classes

• Running the program

• Compiling the code

• Declaring variables

What happens to a method's frame on the stack when the method finishes execution?

• It is popped off the stack

• It is moved to the heap

• It remains on the stack

• It is saved for later use

How can you modify the original variable when passing a primitive to a method?

• By using a global variable

• By returning the new value and reassigning it

• By passing the variable by reference

• By using a static variable

What is the effect on the original variable when a method modifies a copied value?

• The original variable is duplicated

• The original variable remains unchanged

• The original variable is updated

• The original variable is deleted
