Why we don't use pointers in Java?

Question

we use pointers in c and c++ why not java

Answer 1

In languages with pointers, they are one of the most difficult bugs to track down. All classes in languages without pointers are hidden pointers making it difficult to screw up yet still provide them to the programmer.

Answer 2

Java has references and interfaces (which are implemented as pointers) and you're supposed to do anything trough them.
