How do you use pointers in Java?

Answer by  trigonometry (668)

You cannot expressively use pointers in Java. Effectively, each variable for non-primitive data types (so arrays and object) represents a pointer.

Java does not use pointers the way C++ or C does. Each Class instance is internally represented by a pointer to a memory location, but there is nothing special you need to do in order to access it. Simply name the class and variable name, and use it. No pointers.

Java does not support pointers. The references created allows us to access any memory location as pointers do in c n c++.
