They exist in different contexts. Handles are like... well handles (or keys, tickets, references etc), to access objects (like files, sockets, resources) you have opened (created, allocated, etc); in the program they can be integers or pointers.
A pointer is simply a variable that can store a memory address and has the same purpose in both languages. The only real difference is that C++ pointers can point at objects (instances of a class) and indirectly invoke their methods, whereas pointers in C (which is not object oriented) cannot.
I have no need to flag memory leaks or unassigned pointers because I eliminate all leaks at source by using resource handles, smart pointers and making proper use of RAII.
All programming languages implement pointers, but not all languages allow low-level access to memory through a raw pointer. Java, for instance, uses resource handles and smart pointers rather than raw pointers, however the actual allocation of memory is handled by the Java virtual machine (JVM) so there is no need for low-level raw pointers.
Both of them are pointers, but otherwise they are completely unrelated. The former points to the current position of the stack, the latter points to the current instruction of the program.
An array of pointers is exactly what it sounds like - one or more pointers arranged in order in memory, accessible through a common base name and indexed as needed. Philosophically, there is no difference between an array of pointers and an array of objects...int a[10]; // 10 integers, named a[0], a[1], a[2], ..., a[9]int *b[10]; // 10 pointers to int, named b[0], b[1], b[2], ..., b[9]If you initialize the array of pointers...int i;for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) b[i] = &a[i];... then *b[0] would be the same as a[0], etc.
Java doesn't have pointers. C++ has pointers.
What is the deference between Insertion Point and Pointers?
Nothing.
NULL is for pointers, 0, for numbers
A bank handles money and a post office handles letters and packages.

The busbar is used as a conductor and is used as a connection between the parallel and the feeder. The feeder is the supply, and it handles the relays.

memmove handles the case where the source memory and destination memory overlap.

The major difference between buckets and pails is their size. A bucket tends to be larger than a pail. Also, buckets come in a variety of shapes while pails are generally wider at the top than at the bottom. Pails always have handles while buckets sometimes do not have handles.
"What is the difference between bracketing method and iterative method in solving Algebraic and Transcendental equations. Name some methods which lie under both these categories. Also describe the differences between Trapezoidal rule, Simpson's 1/3 rule and Simpson's 3/8 rule."
