Or what do you mean by "the place where objcts are stored"?
All non primitive types in Java are stored on the heap (there is an exception for a specific optimization in which it sometimes doesn't, but let's ignore that for now)
So that means everything that extends Object (this includes arrays, even arrays of primitive types), will be allocated on the heap
If you hold a reference to an object (in the little example above,
mybox), that's an actual pointer, that's a value that lives on the stack💤 Post marked as dormant
