        System.out.println("Name : " + employeeObject.getName());
        System.out.println("Age : " + employeeObject.getAge());

        System.out.println("-------------------------- ");

    }

    /*
     * Passing Reference Data Type Arguments :
     * 
     * Reference data type parameters, such as objects, are also passed into
     * methods by value. This means that when the method returns, the passed-in
     * reference still references the same object as before. However, the values
     * of the object's fields can be changed in the method, if they have the
     * proper access level.

    public static void changeIt(Employee employeeObject)
    {
        employeeObject.setName("Sawyer");
        employeeObject.setAge(29);
    }

}

Name : null
Age : 0
