Why Java is not supporting the Pointer Concept...?

Hi Friends,

Why Java is not supporting the Pointer Concept...?

give me the answer.

Pointer Concept is reasonable in case you're using non-OO methodology.
Object Oriented Programming means that there's no memory, CPU, Hard Drive, etc. All you have is a space full of objects. Thus, all the items in Java are Objects.
This is the basic concept of OOP & Java.

A lot of programming errors occur from the use of pointers. Java is designed to provide a strong type-checking, memory managing programming and program execution environment. The existence of pointers in a language makes the guarantee of type safety and memory management more difficult (if not impossible).
