Assigning Array to new variable, changing original changes the new one

Question

int[] test = {0,1,2,3,4,5};
    int[] before = test;
    System.out.println(before[2]);
    test[2] = 65;
    System.out.println(before[2]);

The fi

Answer 1

Why would you not expect this to happen. You are simply assigning two variables to the same array, and then You are assigning index #2 of that array as 65, so, you should get 65 the next time you print what's on index #2.
