Default clone method
clone method creates a copy of the object, but a different object is created. How can I make the cloned object point to the same object from which it was cloned?

Default Return this
Hello javaplus

Override the clone() method of your class:
Code:
public Object clone(){
    return this;
}
This is a bit pointless, but it should do the trick.
