No, we can't. Java has reference variables which contains address of objects. The reference variables are substitute to pointers in java. But, we cannot perform mathematical operations on reference variables like pointers. (ie we cannot play with memory locations in java)

Hello Manish :-). We can not use pointers in Java because the language designers chose not to include pointers in the language.

You can use pointers but only for passing references but you can't do any kind of pointer related queries like doing arithmetic operations in pointers. By the way, in java everything is a pointer.... And we call them reference variable.

Java uses something called as reference in C++. No need to use the -> / * to dereference. Just '.' is fine.
