    The greatest fixes to all your pointer issues:

    1. Use a debugger, so you’ll know when it happens.
    2. A simple safety check goes very far, and is easy to implement.
    if (refVal != null) {
    //Do the thing
} else {
    //Optional in case if your reference value is uninitialized, can be useful for certain things too
}

        Or using a different programming language that abstracts all that shit away because the people who made it are almost certainly better at memory management than I am!
