代码如下：

import java.util.*;

public class welcome {

    public static void main(String[] args)
       {
          /*
           * Test 1: Methods can't modify numeric parameters
           */
          System.out.println("Testing tripleValue:");
          double percent = 10;
          System.out.println("Before: percent =" + percent);
          percent = tripleValue(percent);
          System.out.println("After: percent =" + percent);  //这里输出为30了！正常的结果

          /*
           * Test 2: Methods can change the state of object parameters
           */
          System.out.println("/nTesting tripleSalary:");
          Employee harry = new Employee("Harry", 50000);
          System.out.println("Before: salary =" + harry.getSalary());
          tripleSalary(harry);
          System.out.println("After: salary =" + harry.getSalary());

          /*
           * Test 3: Methods can't attach new objects to object parameters
           */
          System.out.println("/nTesting swap:");
          Employee a = new Employee("Alice", 70000);
          Employee b = new Employee("Bob", 60000);
          System.out.println("Before: a  =" + a.getName());
          System.out.println("Before: b  =" + b.getName());
          swap(a, b);
          System.out.println("After: a=" + a.getName());
          System.out.println("After: b=" + b.getName());
       }

       public static double tripleValue(double x) // doesn't work
       {
          return x = 3 * x;
          //System.out.println("End of method: x=" + x);
       }

       public static void tripleSalary(Employee x) // works
       {
          x.raiseSalary(200);
          System.out.println("End of method: salary=" + x.getSalary());
       }

       public static void swap(Employee x, Employee y)
       {
          Employee temp = x;
          x = y;
          y = temp;
          System.out.println("End of method: x=" + x.getName());
          System.out.println("End of method: y=" + y.getName());
       }
    }

    class Employee // simplified Employee class
    {
       public Employee(String n, double s)
       {
          name = n;
          salary = s;
       }

       public String getName()
       {
          return name;
       }

       public double getSalary()
       {
          return salary;
       }

       public void raiseSalary(double byPercent)
       {
          double raise = salary * byPercent / 100;
          salary += raise;
       }

       private String name;
       private double salary;
    }

如果是以下代码：System.out.println("After: percent =" + percent);  //这里输出为10了！因为静态方法达不成你要的效果

这是因为静态方法不能对对象产生效果，和静态域一样，它属于类，不属于任何对象。
代码如下：
