Java doesn't have explicit pointers like languages such as C or C++ because it was designed with a focus on simplicity, safety, and platform independence. The absence of pointers helps prevent certain types of programming errors, such as memory corruption and security vulnerabilities, which can be more common in languages with direct pointer manipulation. Instead, Java uses references to objects, but the developer doesn't have direct control over memory addresses, reducing the risk of low-level programming errors. read less

A pointer is a variable which can hold the address of another variable or object. But, Java does not support pointer due to security reason, because if you get the address of any variable you could access it anywhere from the program without any restriction even variable is private.

Java doesn't have explicit pointers for enhanced memory safety and simplified development. It uses references to objects, abstracting away pointers, which helps prevent certain bugs and contributes to portability and security.
