Question

i am learner so please help me

Answer 1

in c we can return means we can send the values diretly to the adress of required variable.For example take swaping two number program using function

Answer 2

How would you return multiple values with a pointer, even in C?

In Java, you return the value:

int a = 5;
int b = 4;
int c = add(a, b);

int add(int a, int b){
return a + b;
}

Java only passes by value with primitive types, so you cannot pass by references with them.

Answer 3

vinay lingam it has nothing to do with platform independent nature of java. I have come to know recently.

Answer 4

java was built to avoid pointers, since it was made to become platform independent..
