CSC300: Copying a Reference [20/24]

Integer x = 3000;
Integer y = x;

                  x==y : true
   Objects.equals(x,y) : true
           x.equals(y) : true

y is now an alias for the object x was pointing to at the time the assignment x = y was performed.

Note: If you do an assignment, such as x = null after that, y would still point to the boxed integer with the value of 3000!
