Java uses only pass by value. Primitive data types are passed purely as pass by value whereas for objects a value which is the reference to the object is passed. Hence the whole object is not passed but its reference gets passed. All modifications to the object in the method would modify the object in the Heap.
Java does not have the concept of Reference Variables. We cannot access the memory location where the data is stored in Java.

An object is the actual storage space in memory in which some collection of data resides.A reference variable is a variable which refers to the memory location of an object.Look at the pseudocode below:Object obj = new Object();Here obj is the reference variable, and the data to which it refers is the object.
Pass by value, constant value, reference and constant reference. Pass by value is the default in C++ (pass by reference is the default in Java).
No , Java does not support call by reference.
pass by value is the technique where a copy of the variable is passed to the method as argument. This value can be modified inside the method but that would not affect the original value. Pass by reference is the technique where the reference to the actual variable is passed to the method as argument. Any changes to this variable would affect and alter the original value. Usually primitive data types are passed by value and objects are passed by reference in java.
Simple types are passed by value in Java. For example: void meth(int a) { // code } meth(34); // 34 is passed by value

There is no such keyword in Java. In general: whether an argument is passed by value or by reference is determined by whether the argument is a primitive (by value) or an Object (by reference). In reality, it's a little more complicated. It seems to be that the actual reference you send as an argument will not change, but the data it refers to will. // This method will not cause a change in the original value. void changeArg(int[] ints) { ints = null; } // This method will. void changeArg(int[] ints) { ints[0] = 0; }
There is no sizeOf() operator in Java.
