LO! Lucas, You changed the topic from pointers to whether parameters are pointers. That is a different question. Again, there are real pointers in Java. Again, every object reference is such a pointer.
I assume you meant "syntax issue". This is not a syntax issue. Pointers are referents to positions on the data store. They must be and are extensively used in Java. Jack P.S. Let us not let this discussion devolve into a pointer discussion or take it to a different thread?
