7 AnswersPassover1 decade agoIn Java, how do I set two variables equal but keep it so that I can change one value but not the other?
private static int[][] takeAway(int[][] grid)
{
int[][] given = new int[9][9];
given = grid;
That is part of my code. When I watch it in debug mode the third line changes the ID number of given to the same as grid. I want given to have all the same values as grid but I want to be able to manipulate given without it changing the values in grid, which it does right now.

1 AnswerMythology & Folklore1 decade agoBuilt-in mic not working on my XPS M1530, running Vista....?
As the subject says, I am running Vista on my XPS. I tried Skyping a friend recently and under sound settings it could not find any mic. I don't want to have to buy an external one, I just want the built-in one to work. I know my computer has one because I used to use it to video chat my friends all the time. Recently, however, my harddrive crashed and I had to install a new one (I think this might be why my computer can no longer see it), however I don't know how to get Skype to find my mic.

I'm the student head of my school's tap dance group. We were invited to do a piece for a dance show and I'm really excited to get to choreograph, but I can't seem to find a good song. Finding a good song to tap to is hard enough as it is, but I want one that is not too cheesy and will fly with a bunch of high schoolers. (We are unfortunately rather hard to please music wise these days). I am having a hard time finding a good song. All genres and song suggestions are appreciated!!!
