To bee more accurate, Java uses *only* pointers to objects on the free =
store
(without any special syntax). C++ can use both objects in the stack and =
in
the free store.

Example:


#include <string>
#include <iostream>


int main()
{
 using namespace std;

 string something=3D"Coca Cola";

 something+=3D" Pepsi Cola";

 something=3Dsomething+" Sprite\n";
=20
 cout<<something;
}=20




This is more convenient than Java where you have to call the operator =
new to
create the string, if I remember well (I do not like java so I do not
remember much of it).
