Is it possible to program in C++ without using pointers? tccicomputercoaching.com You can use references. In C (not C++) pointer is used for many things where in C++ you can avoid it. Because almost nobody show any examples, here they are: Suppose following: // C pass by reference void doSomething(int *a){ a = 5; } same thing in C++ // C++ pass by reference void doSomething(int &a){ a = 5; } another example: // old C++ pass const object by reference void doSomething(const Object *o){ o->method(); } Same can be done using: // new C++11 pass const object by reference void doSomething(const Object &o){ o.method(); } You can do some very trivial things without pointers in C++ but the reality is all languages use pointers but they are hidden from you. Another name for a pointer is an address, which is how the CPU finds things in memory. To learn C , C++, Java, Data Structure , Python at TCCI Call us 98256 18292.
