@JamesMcLeod bullets are not identical in the sense that calling the java .equals() would return false. They are instances of Bullet, but are no more the same than two people.

| Jun 18, 2017 at 12:41 | comment | added | Yotam Salmon | Of course, but that's the definition of the stack. I'll definitely explain that as an origin to the name of the stack, but I need some use-cases for programming and life. (I hope I'm clear enough) | |
