In C you use the concept of pointers whereas there are no pointers used in JAVA why?
Pointers in C are generally the thing that gives learners the most trouble. When C code is not written correctly with respect to pointer use, the resulting bugs can often be very difficult to find and correct. On the other hand, pointers are absolutely necessary in some cases.The designers of Java wanted to make programming easier and hence avoided adding pointers to the language. Java does have object references which accomplish much of what pointers accomplish albeit in a safer way.
