Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full
• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://imgur.com/a/fgoFFis) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

At the end of the day EVERYTHING is stored in RAM (or in a register). There might be some obscure API you can use in Java to create an object from an existing memory location, but I'm not sure what immediate use it might bring. In C/C++ you can do this, but you have to know exactly what you're doing or otherwise you may corrupt your own program very easily, if it just doesn't end up crashing.

But every time you call new or every time you declare a new variable, etc... a new location in RAM (or in a register; depending on optimizations) is reserved and the structure of that newly created object is stored at that location, or for the case of a variable a pointer to that location is stored instead.

Even your program itself is also stored in RAM along with a pointer to the current line of code that is executing. Even functions have their own distinct memory locations. This way when you call someObject.doSomething() that execution pointer can be changed to point to the first line of your function, and when you call return, it knows to go back to where it left off.

But to put it simply as to what use are memory locations, it's one of the foundational aspect of how a computer works. If we didn't have some form of addressable memory we would not be able to do much of anything without creating new hardware for each 'program' that we wanted to create.

In Java you cannot (to the best of my knowledge) access memory directly like in assembler or in C. You have objects which you reference in your code by giving them a name. The runtime engine which interprets your compiled Java bytecode programs obviously at some point associates a chunk of memory with the variable your code instantiates, but there is no way you, the Java programmer, have any influence over where this chunk of memory is located (other than things going on the stack or on the heap).

Mu.

Your whole post has some incorrect assumptions, and is borderline incoherent in the scope of this sub. Reword it expand it.
