java
This is my first Class Hello.java
public class Hello {
    String name = "";
}
This is my second Class Test1.java
public class Test1 {    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Hello h = new Hello();
        Test1 t = new Test1();
        t.build(h);
        System.out.println((h.name));
    }
    void build(Hello h){
        h.name = "me";
    }
}
When I run Test1.java, it prints "me". I think I understand, because of "reference transfer".
This is my third Class Test2.java
public class Test2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Hello h = null;
        Test2 t = new Test2();
        t.build(h);
        System.out.println(((h == null)));
    }
    void build(Hello h){
        h = new Hello();
    }
}
When I run Test2.java, it prints "true", why ? Is it "reference transfer" no longer? I am confused.
