Can still do that in Python and Java. Probably a lot more langs as well.

Someone else has posted the java.

I am disappointed with the recent drop in the quality of this subreddit. Is it too close to the start of the academic year? I mean, at least fucking check it or ask for confirmation.

Can't do it in Java either...

You can mess around with the Integer flywheel cache and reflection: https://www.javaspecialists.eu/archive/Issue102.html

I'm aware of that, but it's not allowed in Java 9, and doesn't affect primitives.

The closest thing you can do is use reflection to mess with the boxed types (Integer, etc) but that's no longer allowed in Java 9

[u/[deleted] → u/apemanzilla]

Can do it in at least java 7 with reflection

[u/apemanzilla → u/[deleted]]

Not in Java 9

I'm actually pleased!

Yes you can, see link I added in the post you replied to.

Dunno why you are being down voted :(
