after reading the Array post, I am wondering is it possible to deep copy Arrays[][]??
Curious.. primitive[][] are considered objects - right? is there a possibility we can override array's clone() method for a custom behavior(s)?
Thanks in adv.

Although arrays are Objects, there is unfortunately no way to subclass them (and thus override the clone() method).
 
With a little knowledge, a cast iron skillet is non-stick and lasts a lifetime.
