Java does not use pointer, per se. Objects can have one or more references, i.e,
Pizza pepperoni = new Pizza("Pepperoni"); pepperoni2 = pepperoni; // both pepperoni and pepperoni2 "point" to the same object. In Java, one must be mindful of the number of active objects on the heap; too many, and you can receive an "OutofMemoryException". The number of objects should be controlled by either nullifying the object when object is no longer in use, or, if the object is no longer in use (no longer referenced), the object will become eligible for garbage collection. The garbagecollection mechanism in Java is not guaranteed to run at any specific time; however, you can force the running of the garbage collector. ----- Original Message ----- From: ANUJ KUMAR To: java-ee-j2ee-programming-with-passion@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 25, 2009 1:39 AM Subject: [java ee programming] core java how can we print address of a variable in java? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
