Answer 1

There is no pointer in java,java deals with object and reference
because more than 20% bugs reported in any C++ projects are pointers related

Answer 2

A pointer can point to any arbitrary memory location, if it can't it isn't a pointer. In java this feature isn't allowable because java is designed to be highly secured, portable and stable. Besides, a java applications runs under java virtua invironment which is responsible for memory management for that application. An application may not and need not concern about sheer memory locations in java. That's all for what you do not have a pointer in java.

Answer 3

Pointers are there called references, just as C++ references are pointers without the arithmetic property; this has nothing about mouse and movement. Mouse are integral to today's computing and of course Java can deal with that.

This is just a marketing strategy; similar to an old Microsoft marketing method in very old times.

Answer 4

A pointer refers to a place in memory. they're used to organise documents in memory; coding with regulations is in many situations enormously progressed stuff. Java does no longer help regulations; C does.

Answer 5
