2. Which one of the following code sections will print out 2?
(Multiple selection is allowed.)

public static void change(int[] arr) {

arr[0] = 2;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

X int[] a = {1,2,3};
change(a);
System.out.println(a[0]);
}

public static void change(int element) {

element = 2;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

int a = 0;
change(a);
System.out.println(a);
}

An array variable is a reference variable, i.e. you store only the location of the array in
the variable.
When you call a function with an array as a parameter, only this reference or location is
copied, the original and the copied reference points to the same array. If you modify one
of the elements of the array inside the function, it modifies the element of the only array...
This only array can be referenced by "arr" inside change() and "a" inside main().
