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.


Do other programming languages implement pointers?

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.
