Why output is "30" ? Everytime it does , and value of e1.count is "0", it should print "2" in the end, can't understand how it works. Please someone to explain me. Thank You

e2 = e1 is just a distraction. Imagine that there is only one object. Will that help to understand the result ?

Can't understand. I was tested before something like this

The result was 3, so e2 recive value of e1, result that e2.count should be "0" every time on the main example. Any idea?

Imagine your have two baskets where you put your cloths in. If you put the first basket into the second basket and put cloths in it, in which basket are the cloths ? If put the first basket in the second basket again (although it was already in there) and add some more cloths, in which basket are the cloths ?

What I'm trying to say (in a very confusing way ), is that e2 is always e1. The Echo() instance represented by "Echo e2 = new Echo();" will be discarded as soon as e2 = e1. Only e1 is alive. Everything happens in e1. e2 is e1. So e2.count = e2.count + 1; is actually e1.count = e1.count + 1;. System.out.println(e2.count); is actually System.out.println(e1.count);...

If you send is by car it's a shipment, but if by ship it's cargo. This tiny ad told me:
