I am new in java and could not find any information on the following
basic question.
Since there is no pointer in java, how do I create a linked list of a
tree. The handle is more like a reference in C++ which does not seem
to be able to change the object it's referring to.
One other question/comment, java requires the explicit creation of
object and strings, but not for other basic type such as int and
float. This appears to me to be a inconsistency and make the code not
as elegant. Is there a rationale behind this?
Thanks.
Larry
