I also forgot to say that there is nothing like it in java as it doesn't use pointers.

No, Java uses references which basically are pointers. It's just that the language doesn't treat them like C++ does (actually it treats them quite differently)

Not quite, try reseating a reference, try passing in a null reference.

You are thinking of c++ modifer "reference". Alpha_ProgDes was describing how objects are passed in java, by reference. It is quite easy to reassign a java object, or to make it null.
