Clone vs New

[agni256]

Hi,
I am just trying to understand the difference between these two.
Is clone same as New and set all the properites according to cloned object.

object c1= c2.clone();

c1 will be a new object with all the properites set according to
the clone method implementation.

I am trying to understand the difference, any help?

Yes, by default the clone method will create a shallow copy of the cloned object.

If you need a deep copy or any other behaviour, you should override the clone method with your own implementation.
