It doesn't. You must have misunderstood something.
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.
Answer - why C is Middle Level LanguageC Programming language is called as Middle Level Language because (i) it gives or behaves as High Level Language through Functions - gives a modular programming and breakup, increased efficiency for reusability(ii)it gives access to the low level memory through Pointers. Moreover it does support the Low Level programming i.e, Assembly Language.As its a combination of these two aspects, its neither a High Level nor a Low level language but a Middle Level Language.Of note: C++ supports pointers and some basic assembly aspects. It is, however, high-level. C is 3rd generation, not due to pointers or functions, as most languages after the 1st generation include some implementation of these, but because it introduced the first (relatively speaking) aspects of object orientation (structs and enums). C++ carried on with this, leading to the "4th", which has become too varried to refer to as such. There is no such thing as a middle-level language. Machine code to BASIC to C to C++ and Java and such, C is definitively on the higher end of the programming specture.
Low level programming language is a language that is not very abstracted from hardware layer. Programming in low level languages usually requires manual memory management, use of pointers, and in case of assembler - CPU instructions themselves. This makes the programming much more difficult than using a high level language where these issues are taken care of for you. However in general it is possible to write much 'tighter' code in low level languages. Where tighter means:- smaller number of instructions Better use of memory Faster in execution.
A language that allows you to combine high-level programming with low-level programming. C and C++ are generally regarded as being mid-level languages.
No, there is no such thing as 'middle level language'. C is high level language, and it is no way similar to Assembly language.

Not everybody asks about pointers, however pointers are a fundamental data type in C and can be difficult to understand when you come from a language that does not support a native pointer type. It is extremely low-level but in higher level languages, such as Java, pointers are abstracted away using references. Moreover, the close relationship between a pointer and an array in C means that it is vital we understand what a pointer is and why we need them.

You do not use pointers in Java because the language designers decided to abstract memory management to a higher level in Java than in C. The reason for this is that it is easy to make mistakes using pointers and other lower level memory management techniques. These mistakes can lead to bugs. hard to read code, memory leaks that waste system resources, and security issues. Instead for the most part Java takes care of memory management for the user who can instead specify behavior though the object oriented techniques that are safer and easier to understand. The downside is that the programmers lose some control and flexibility in using memory. Also, programs using Java take a small performance hit in some cases because of the extra work Java has to do to manage memory itself. They are, however in Java they are called references.
Because it cannot be understood by users. High level language like C can be understood by the user by looking at its source code. But assembly level language does not have any source code, its a language converted from high level language to low level language (assembly level language or machine level language) so that the language which the user could read/understand can also be read/understand by the machine.
Why is C called a Middle Level Language?
high level language is converted to machine level language using a compiler or an interpreter
