| (1)Both of these have pointers but java pointers are not same as c pointers.
(2)Pointers in Java are not explicit like in C language.
(3)JVM internally uses pointers and these pointers cannot be directly manipulated.
(4)A pointer is a variable that holds the memory address of data. In Java there are only references which do not hold any memory address but
which are indices in a table and this table has then the real pointer to
the data.
(5)Pointer Arithmetic is not possible with Java pointers. | | |
