Difference between methods of copying a simulink parameter

I wanted to confirm, if the two methods described below have the same functionality or if there is some difference.

Method 1

a=Simulink.Parameter;

a.Value=5;

b=a;

Method 2

a=Simulink.Parameter;

a.Value=5;

b=a.copy;

Thanks in advance.

Yes, there is a difference between the two methods. In the first method you are creating a reference to the same object but in the second method, you are creating a new Simulink Parameter object from the existing one.

You can refer to the below thread.

Hope this helps.
