通过利用引用型数据和基本型数据的区别可以判断出数据的类型是否是引用型的String为例

public class TestGetString {
	public static void main(String[] args){
		String input = "Hellojava!";
		String output =  "Helloworld!";
		System.out.println("before swap!");
		System.out.println("input is :\t" + input);
		System.out.println("output is :\t" + output);
		
		System.out.println("-----------------" +
				"--------------------------------------------");
		System.out.println("after swap!");
		swap(input, output);
		System.out.println("input is :\t" + input);
		System.out.println("output is :\t" + output);
	}
	public static void swap(String a,String b){
		String temp = a;
		a = b;
		b = temp;
	}

}

测是结果如下：

before swap!
input is : Hellojava!
output is : Helloworld!
-------------------------------------------------------------
after swap!
input is : Hellojava!
output is : Helloworld!

这表明String是引用型数据！
