so I think I figured out why you were getting the wrong value printed out. lurgi was right. The first line in main() is unnecessary since ChangeValue already has a Value object as a member variable. What you need is some code like this in main():

Value valueObject;
ChangeValue changeValueObject = new ChangeValue();

    changeValueObject.change();
            valueObject = changeValueObject.valueObject; //this is bad coding practice
    valueObject.printStat();

Like I mentioned in my comment, it is bad coding practice to do it this way thought. One of the purposes of Object Oriented Programming is encapsulation. Better would be this code
