Why Java does not have pointers ?

Java does not have pointers. This was an intentional decision by the creators of Java, because most people would agree that having pointers creates a lot of potential for bugs in the code – pointers can be quite confusing, especially to new programmers. Because arrays and strings are provided as class types in Java, there is no need for pointers to those constructs. By not allowing pointers, Java provides effectively provides another level of abstraction to the programmer.

Java has references, but not pointers

But, what Java does have is references, which are different from pointers. Here are some of the differences between references in Java and pointers in C++:

They all try to separate the presentation logic from the business logic where JavaScript holds the model and logic, and html the presentation layer. Quick overview : You can change the model without changing the view and vice-versa Unit testing is easy These are the core benefits of using such a framework. By separating presentation and business logic changes to the code are easier to implement and take less time. Another benefit is that code can be reused from a controller thus saving more time. Angularjs makes the code also shorter in comparison to other frameworks, which improves code stability. Less code means minor potential for bugs. For several years +AngularJS was closer to MVC (or rather one of its client-side variants), but over time and thanks to many refactorings...
