Implementing Deep and Shallow Cloning in C#

Reflection-Based Cloning Implementation This approach uses reflection to create deep clones of objects: public abstract class CloneableBase : ICloneable { public object Clone() { object cloneInstance = Activator.CreateInstance(GetType()); FieldInfo[] cloneFields = cloneInstance.GetType().GetFields(); int ...

Prototype Pattern Implementation in Java

Vector Prototype Implementation This implementation demonstrates mathematical vector encapsulation in Java with dynamic memory allocation for variable-length vectors. It showcases both shallow and deep cloning techniques for copying vector objects. Shallow Cloning Approach In shalow cloning, only the object itself is duplicated, while referance ...

Object Cloning in Java: Shallow, Deep, and Serialization Strategies

Primitive assignments in Java duplicate the actual value: int count = 10; int tally = count; This behavior applies to all eight primitive types. Object variables, however, store memory addresses rather than the objects themselves. Direct assignment therefore creates an alias, not an independent entity: class Employee { private int badgeId; ...
