function test(val){
alert('ok'+val);

Java and C++
I'm struggling to understand the differences between aliases and pointers.
Can anyone help this newbie? Please explain this concept in plain English and include examples if possible. Appreciate your help
Thanks :)
| well I'm no expert but aliases offer a way for the programmer to refer to a particular address space using different names (and hence aliases). To take an intelligent guess the compiler will refer to one memory space using various names. Pointers are slightly different in that a variable refers to a memory space, that contains a different memory space as its value okay? |

In India it is venerated.
