Chapter 9.10, Problem 9.10.1CP

Explanation of Solution

Difference between Primitive type and Reference type:

Primitive type	Reference type
These are the basic types of data like byte, short, int, long, float, double, boolean, char.	These are the instantiable class as well as arrays: string, scanner, random, die, int[], string[], and soon.
Primitive variables store primitive values.	These variables store the address.
Primitive type always contains a value. It can never be null	Reference type can contain null value.
If primitive variable of type int is created but is not initialized with any value then by default it would be 0.	In this case the default value is null which means no reference is assigned to it.

Program:

//class definition

public class Test {

// define main function

public static void main(String[] args) {

// create an object

Count myCount = new Count();

// data member

int times = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)

increment(myCount, times);

// accessing member through reference variable
