    Pointers are absolutely hard for beginners, and it is arguably hard to learn when and where to actually use them properly

    • What is so difficult to learn about pointers? I am not a programmer, i just used to dabble in C++ and a bit of C# and java for school and now python for uni. I found pointers in c++ much more straightforward, then memorizing when a function is doing call by value or call by reference. I still hate java for doing it half half and not letting you do it differently.
