in case of primitives the parameter is passed by value. in case of objects the parameter is passed by reference.

          In java there is no "pass by reference", we have only "pass by value". When an object reference variable is passed , the value stored inside the reference variable will be passed i.e., the address of the Object that the reference variable points to. So, we can access the members of the object by using the reference value passed to the method. But unlike in c/c++ we can't change the value of the reference variable (which is passed to the method) inside the method.
