              X x;
              Declares the variable x of class X. This does not creates an object
              Creates the object x of class X (on stack)

            
              X x = new X();
              Declares variable x and creates and assigns an object
              Invalid syntax

            
              X* x;
              Invalid syntax
              Declares a pointer of type X. Same as declaring a variable in Java

            
              X* x = new X();
              Invalid syntax
              Declares a pointer of type X and assigns an object created (on heap)

            
              X& x = y;
              Invalid syntax
              Declares a reference of type X and assigns another object which was previously created. A reference cannot be declared without initializing. The concept of reference does not exist in Java.

## Sample.java
DatabaseLoader databaseLoader = new DatabaseLoader();

String q = "SELECT news, type FROM table_name

databaseLoader.setUser("root"); // username
databaseLoader.setPassword(""); // password
databaseLoader.setQuery(q);

// load the data
Instances dataUnfiltered0 = databaseLoader.getDataSet();
