Parameter Passing By Value

Question

Okay here is the deal Say i have a class called "CUSTOMERINFO" and in this class there are attributes such as first and last name..
okay now in the main class i create an instance.. Now i want to send it to a method to have another "CUSTOMERINFO" equal the same values as the first, but don't want them pointing at the same memory block.. therefore they are 2 separate entities and i can change one with out affecting the other.. I know there is a way i just can't find the syntax on the net.. its something like "METHODA(ByVal String newValue){}
THANKS

Try this
public class CustomerInfo
private firstName = "";
private lastName = "";
public CustomerInfo(String firstName , String lastName)
  this.firstName = firstName
  this.lastName  = lastName
public String getFirstName()
  return firstName;
  public String getLastName()
  return lastName;
} // End CustomerInfo class
public class SameInfo
private firstName = "";
private lastName = "";
public void setFirstName()
  this.firstName = firstName;
public void setLastName()
  this.lastName = lastName;
} // End SameInfo class
public class Driver
public static void main(String[] args)
  CustomerInfo customerOne = new CustomerInfo("Bob", "Dole")
  SameInfo anotherPerson = new SameInfo();
  anotherPerson.setFirstName(customerOne.getFirstName())
  anotherPerson.setLastName(customerOne.getLastName());
}
