How Do You Use Pointers in Java ?

I have recently learned C and in C the pointer variables store the address of the variables and can be passed to a function (Call by Reference). What is the alternative for it in Java ?

actually explicitly we don't use pointers in java projects but in oop methodology while the creation of objects JVM uses pointers to store the object address to the reference
