I've got a strange problem with Java, it's probably a feature, but please
point me to solving this.

If I have something like:

public void test(int param) { param = 5;
}

and practically want to set the param to 5 (I do not want to use return,
please!), and when I call it from another method, like:

public void example(){
        int example_parameter = 0;
        test( example_parameter );
        System.out.println("parameter: " + example_parameter);
}

I'll get the 0 as the output, and I want 5; how to assign a value a
parameter? (pointers I miss you ;)
I've checked some books on that, but as allways its not in it, because it's
"too obvious"...

plz help :)
