RE: [Dev-C++] Pointer Resourses

[Schedler, K. <Kur...@hi...>]

In reality, everything in Java is a pointer.  They just took away the
ability to manipulate them directly because that is a source of many
programming errors as well as an opening for malicious code to do damage.

Hi all,
Please help me with some useful resources where I can learn and more
importantly understand Pointers.  I want to know pointer applications, why
it is necessary in a language and if it is so important for a language why
it is excluded from Java?
Waiting

Hello!

Pointer is a datatype that's value is a memory address.
It is necessary in C programming because C is a pointer 
oriented language. In addition it is very useful in 
handling of trees, lists etc.
A VERY useful book (not only for you but for all C 
programmers) :
  Kernighan,Brian W. ; Ritchie, Dennis M. : "The C 
programming language."
