    @calmyourtities It does. That's why you see all those NullPointerExceptions

    @t4ils Tl;dr pointers are memory addresses letting you interact directly with the computer's memory. They can also be a bitch sometimes

    @Tytanium because it's much more than just a link. It is literally a physical place in memory which opens up a suite of interesting things you can do, from memory crawlers to ultra generic libraries. Plus it lets you directly access the memory location of a function, meaning you can store it in a database and use the function later (useful in generic libraries)
