Is the reference data a concrete computer technology(based on Memory addressing) or an abstract concept(can achieved in many ways)

or

can you explain how the reference data is implemented in computer language

please! please! I'm very confused

  • Hello, this very much depends on the computer language you are using, could you please specify what you mean? – Alex Angel Mar 19 '21 at 15:11
  • @AlexAngel hi!I am using java . I am curious how the reference data type is designed and the details of their structure in memory – 尤春光 Mar 19 '21 at 16:32
  • If you are talking about the schematics of the java language in regards to your question, this will help: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32010236/11192546 If you are talking about how the java bytecode interpreter works with [references](https://stackoverflow.com/a/53137643/11192546) and [variables](https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/322058) then I suggest you read [JVM SE Spec 16 - 2.4. Reference Types and Values](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se16/html/jvms-2.html#jvms-2.4), – Alex Angel Mar 19 '21 at 17:21

  • Thank you! You helped me find the same topic! But their answers are all ‘figures’. I am looking for a more professional answer – 尤春光 Mar 19 '21 at 17:42
