       * <p>
       * The method {@code clone} for class {@code Object} performs a
       * specific cloning operation. First, if the class of this object does
       * not implement the interface {@code Cloneable}, then a
       * {@code CloneNotSupportedException} is thrown. Note that all arrays
!      * are considered to implement the interface {@code Cloneable}.
       * Otherwise, this method creates a new instance of the class of this
       * object and initializes all its fields with exactly the contents of
       * the corresponding fields of this object, as if by assignment; the
       * contents of the fields are not themselves cloned. Thus, this method
       * performs a "shallow copy" of this object, not a "deep copy" operation.
