You have no problem with pointers, Sal? Wait until you get out of school and get a programming job. Pointers are intrinsicly problematic aside from any conceptual problems that students have with them. They are involved with perhaps 90% of the crashes of programs or computers, if not more. Every time a Windows NT gives the blue screen of paradise, there's a pointer that pointed wrong. When system resources are eaten it's because objects should be freed but aren't due to mismanagement of pointers. Any time you write a program that fails, yet mysteriously works while running the debugger, there's a pointer going wrong. Elimination of pointers together with garbage collection is Java's single greatest asset a programming language.
