  2. Ref = PO Box, Object = Home/Office[ Go to top ]

    whats the confusion ?

    I dont find any common ground to compare Object and Reference.

    Object is an entity in memory which represents an instance of a class.
    While reference is the pointer address of the object.

    So reference is like post box number while the object is the actual place.

    There is a small line between object and reference.
    As an example a remote control is an object but it is a reference for a television...
    ok let us see in different perspective....when we cast a oblect into another class...for example we are changeing an int object into a double. here the reference of the object will change.Initially it was pointing integer now it shall point double...
    I think by the this time u must have got the difference...if not again ask me
     Thanx
