Pointers (Cross Ref > Language Details)

By Mike Prestwood

Java versus C++/CLI: A side by side comparison between Java and C++/CLI.

Data Structures

Data structures allow you to store and work with data. Common data structures include arrays, associative arrays, etc.

Pointers

[Other Languages]

General Info: Pointers / References

A pointer is a variable type that allows you to refer indirectly to another object. Instead of holding data, a pointer holds the address to data -- the address of another variable or object. You can change the address value a pointer points to thus changing the variable or object the pointer is pointing to.

A reference is a type of pointer that cannot change and it must always point to a valid storage (no nulls).

Java: Not Supported

Java does not offer developer defined pointers.
