Are there such things as pointers in Javascript?

Hi!
Are there pointers in Javascript available, like for example in Turbo Pascal 7? :)

So i could use
function TestFunc(PointerToFunctionA, FunctionAItself) {
FunctionAItself('Hallo'));
//And how to use the Pointer then?
PointerToFunction('Hallo')...???
}
function PassedFunction(TextToShow) { alert(TextToShow); }

TestFunc(^PassedFunction,PassedFunction);

as you can pass the function, why would you need a pointer to it? What would happen when it, rather than 'itself' is called?

Are there pointers in Javascript available, like for example in Turbo Pascal 7?Strictly speaking, no. Not in the sense of 32 bit integers specifying an address in memory, no.

However, JavaScript has primitive types (or value types) and compound types (or reference types). Functions are reference types, and can be handled with just like any other reference type.
