3 Java Objects

In Java, objects are referenced by names that store memory addresses, and can be assigned a null value. The document discusses aliasing and dangling references, illustrating these concepts with examples involving a 'Student' class and a 'Car' class. It also explains parameter passing by reference, demonstrating how changes to an object in a method affect the original object.
