Cloning an object by implementing the Cloneable interface.
public class Sheep implements Cloneable {
private String name;
private int weight;
public Sheep(String name, int weight) {
this.name = name;
this.weight = weight;
}
@Override
public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
return super.clone();
}
}
// create a sheep
Sheep sheep = new Sheep("Dolly", 20);
// clone the sheep
Sheep dolly = (Sheep) sheep.clone(); // dolly.name is "Dolly" and dolly.weight is 20
