Cloning and Deep Cloning of Array in Java and It's Use With Example
By watching this video anyone can understand the whole concept about cloning and deep cloning of array in java. Here we tried to explain cloning and deep cloning of array in details with example. Summary of this video:
Cloning (Shallow Cloning) Key Points:
Only fields that are primitives or immutable (like String) are copied.
References to objects are copied as references, not the objects themselves.
The class must implement the Cloneable interface; otherwise, a CloneNotSupportedException is thrown.
clone() method is protected and must be overridden to make it accessible.
Deep Cloning Key Points:
Every referenced object must be cloned recursively.
More complex to implement than shallow cloning.
It ensures full independence between the cloned object and the original object.
Can be implemented using:
Manual cloning by overriding clone() and manually cloning all nested objects.
Serialization and deserialization (converting the object to a byte stream and back to an object).
Use of cloning and deep cloning in Java with example.
