Question about array

[hei1233212000]

I wanna know are the following cases implement the same thing?

Case A.

int arrayA[] = new int[10];
int arrayB[] = new int[10];

arrayA = arrayB;

Case B.

int arrayA[] = new int[10];
int arrayB[] = new int[10];

for (int i = 0 ; i < arrayA.length; i++)
{
     arrayA[i] = arrayB[i];
}

In both case, I found that arrayA contains the same elements as arrayB.
However, is there any difference(meaning or implementation.....) between these two cases?
Thanks for your help:)

No they are different.
arrayA = arrayB;
The above replaces/loses the array arrayA used to point to, replacing it with a reference to arrayB.
If you make a change to arrayA it can be seen in arrayB because there is only one array.
In the second case if after the loop you make a change to arrayA it will NOT be seen in arrayB.
Write a small test program to see this.

In both case, I found that arrayA contains the same elements as arrayB.

Exactly. arrayA points to the SAME array as arrayB. The initial contents of arrayA are gone.

Your code is the same as:
String s1 = "1";
String s2 = "2";
s1 = s2; // the reference to "1" is replaced with one to "2". The "1" is gone.
