When you pass an array to a method, the method receives

When you pass an array to a method, the method receives a reference to the array. This means that the method can modify the original array. Here are the steps:

1. Declare and initialize an array.
2. Create a method that takes an array as a parameter.
3. In the method, you can modify the array. Since the method has a reference to the original array, any changes made in the method will affect the original array.
4. Call the method and pass the array as an argument.
5. After the method call, you will see that the original array has been modified according to the operations performed in the method.

This is because in Java, arrays are objects and they are passed by reference to a method. So, the method receives the reference to the original array, not a new copy of the array.
