I don't know if there are any benefits of learning java... really it's the same for any language. Each language does some stuff differently than others. That's all "learning" java becomes... really just the differences between java and something you already know. For example, there aren't "pointers" in java, just references. All objects are passed by reference in java.
Hi,
To give you a good answer you need to give us more details.
Like ...
- Why are you going to learn Java?
- What are you starting point? Do you know any other programming languages?
Best Regards

Tsk tsk... java never, ever passes by reference. Likewise, it never passes objects. Instead, it passes primitive types and references (to objects) by value. Not a meaningful difference at first glance, but good to remember for later on
That aside, each programming language has it's own benefits and drawbacks. Java for example, is relatively easy to learn (compared to, say, C++) and platform independent. But you don't have as much access to system resources as some other languages have.

Could you give an example of the difference between passing "by reference" and passing a "reference by value"

In VB.NET:
| Code: |
|
Imports System Public Class SomeClass Public a As Integer End Class Public Class TestSomeClass ' Reference is passed by reference Public Shared Sub TByRef(ByRef par As SomeClass) ' We change the reference to another reference par = New SomeClass() par.a = 666 End Sub ' Reference is passed by value Public Shared Sub TByVal(ByVal par as SomeClass) ' We change the reference which is passed by value ' This changes are lost par = New SomeClass() par.a = 777 End Sub Public Shared Sub Main() Dim x As New SomeClass() x.a = 3 TByVal(x) Console.WriteLine("x.a = " & x.a) TByRef(x) Console.WriteLine("x.a = " & x.a) End Sub End Class |
Compile and run it.
The output:
| Code: |
|
x.a = 3 x.a = 666 |
You can't do this in Java, because, as muzzz already pointed out:

Java is much more complex and proffesional language, I think. C# is also very good.

I agree on both points.
