Both pointers and references let  you refer to other objects indirectly. You can't take the address of a reference but you can with pointers. if you have a  variable whose purpose is to refer to another object, but it is possible  that there might not be an object to refer to, we have to make the variable a pointer, because then you can set it to "null".
