Can you sort an array like so in Java

public void swap(int a, int b)
{
    int tmp=b;
    b=a;
    a=tmp;
}

swap(array[i],array[j]); ...

Answer: no you can not.

references in java are gimped pointers and have nothing to do with passing parameters.

What gets passed is a value, if it is a primitive, or an address if it is an object.

It is amazing how ignorant Java devs are.

Pass by reference means passing the address of the pointer, not the address stored in the pointer.

Didn't I see this drug on the criminally underrated Dredd?

Wrong, the intent is to encourage the creation of works and build a robust public domain.

Copyright is broke because the latter no longer exists in any real sense on works created in the last 100 years or so.

I have seen what happens when Redbox crashes to the desktop.

It couldn't connect to the database so it decided its best option was to kill off the rental interface leaving the desktop visible with a virtual keyboard.

And full admin rights

It continues and always will because of how people are.

Back before Qwest got bought out by CenturyLink, you could pick various DSL providers, and MS was one of them. Don't know if they still do that but MS definitely is an ISP with webmail, Azure, etc.

Funny thing is that Jonathon Martin was absolutely vilified for speaking out against him being harassed.

Guess male on male harassment is still okay in many people's eyes.

I have known women "programmers" who couldn't write a hello world program by themselves who cry discrimination when confronted with their incompetence.

Until that sort of thing stops, and vile people like that entitled brat in the Donglegate farce go away, women claiming harassment in IT will always go under a microscope.

Linux started out community driven and was like that for most, if not all of the 90's.

GitHub is closely connected to Git, not the other way around.

GitHub would be called HgHub or something if Git didn't exist. Git would be completely unaffected if Github didn't exist.

And that is exactly how Florida ended up.

There is a difference between premature optimization and good programming. Sadly, the latter gets confused with the former.

Universities exist to produce an educated populace, it is not a job training center.

Without understanding the theory you are not going to be able to do much other than be an API monkey.

It runs fine with Wine.
