vector cloning

[TomArrow]

i have a vector holding objects. i want to clone it. if the vector is called v can i say:

Vector newVector = (Vector)v.clone();

?
will this be a complete new copy without any reference to the old one? if i make changes to v do i see those changes in newVector?

thankyou

It should be a completely new instance, in a completely new memory location. This is what makes the clone method so expensive.
