Today while going through an article, I came to a point where the author mentioned the disadvantages of aliasing and one of them is
"aliases allow to by-pass interface operations"
link to the article
http://www.cs.ru.nl/~erikpoll/ss/Aliasing.pdf
But I couldnt find explanation for it. Is this true? How?

Look, mate, it's your reference, how about you read it yourself instead of expecting other people to do it for you?
And try not to stop at page 6.
I just started going thru these concepts of aliasing and immutability.
And I am unable to understand the explanation given in the link. May be my knowledge is not sufficient to understand(thats y I am seeking help).
I didnt understand rep notation.
public class BankTransfer{
private BankAccount from,to;
private @rep int[] amount;
private @rep char[] description;
...
}
Thatsy I am trying to find another simple example and so posted this thread.
Can anyone else help me plz?
> I didnt understand rep notation.
which is explained on page 12.

It's only a slideshow, you're not going to get much more out of it. I would contact the author and ask if there is a proper paper behind it. But only if you're going to read it.
