my class has an enum definition as property, and an enums type array as property
like this:
public class GameBoard implements Serializable , Cloneable {
private final int N = 8;
public State[][] Board = new State[N][N];
public enum State
{
empty,player1,player2;
}
i want to write a clone method in this class. if i will use a copy method that is defined in Object class will i get a "deep copy" of the class and copy the array or will it only return a reference to the array?
i'm not sure if enum is considered a "basic" type when it comes to copy.
