Hi Vinod,

In this case, Java is similar to Ada95, you can have a variable of any class type called reference, that it is in fact a pointer. However, you cannot see the address (its contents) or manipulate it. This mecanism reduces a lot of common programming errors which appear in orther languages such as C (segmentation faults and core dumps are typical errors for this reason).

Regards,

Rafa
