    JAVA V.S. C++: Programming Language Comparison

    Uploaded by

    Laxminarayana Mergoju
    Java and C++ are both popular object-oriented programming languages. C++ was created in 1979 while Java was created in 1990. They both have advantages and disadvantages when it comes to features like memory management, security, performance, and cross-platform capabilities. Overall, C++ is generally faster but more complex and error-prone while Java is generally slower but cross-platform, has automatic memory management, and is more secure. Both languages have their uses in industry.

    Object-oriented Programming Language

    • Both Java and C++ are most popular


    object-oriented programming languages

    • C++ was created at AT&T Bell Labs in


    1979

    • Java was born in Sun Microsystems in


    1990
    Language Feature Comparison

    • Simple • Portable
    • Object-oriented • Compiled or Interpreted
    • Distributed • High Performance
    • Robust • Multithreaded
    • Secure • Dynamic
    • Architecture Neutral • Fun
    • No pointer • Pointer
    • No multiple inheritance • Multiple inheritance
    • Automatic garbage • Manual garbage
    collection collection
    • No operator overloading • Operator overloading
    • No goto statement and • Goto statement and
    no structure and union structure and union
    data structure data structure
    • No stand-alone data • Allows the stand-alone
    and functions data and functions

    • Automatically supports • Needs declare virtual


    polymorphism methods explicitly
    Handles TCP/IP networking easily and
    nicely, can open and access objects across
    the Internet via URL just like a local file
    system

    External library supports TCP/IP


    networking, but much harder to do
    network programming
    JAVA C++
    source code source code
    Java compiler C++ compiler
    javac JIT gcc, g++, cl
    Bytecode compiler
    Java JVM Binary code
    interpreter OS kernel OS kernel

    Both compiled and interpreted Compiled


    • Much slower than C++, • About 10~20 times
    but good enough to run faster than equivalent
    interactively for most JAVA code
    applications
    • Most operating
    • JIT compiler available systems are written
    using C/C++
    • Originally designed for • Allows implicit type and
    writing highly reliable or function declarations
    robust software • No automatic garbage
    • Explicit method collection is susceptible
    declarations to memory leakage
    • No pointers and automatic • Using pointers is
    garbage collection avoid susceptible to memory
    hard-to-debug mistakes corruption
    • Array bounds-checking • No array bounds-
    checking
    • Byte-code is verified at run-time to
    ensure security restrictions are not
    violated
    • Memory layout is handled at run-time
    by JVM
    • Uses multiple namespaces to prevent
    hostile classes from spoofing a JAVA
    program

    • Memory is handled at compile-time by


    compiler
    • Same Bytecode can run • Platform-dependent
    on any machine binary code cannot be
    supporting JVM executed on a different
    machine
    • Well defined and fixed-
    size data types, file • Implementation specific
    formats, and GUI and varied-size data
    behavior types by platforms
    • Provides native • Rely on external
    multithreading support libraries for
    multithreading
    • Concurrent applications
    are quite easy • Harder to do
    multithreaded
    programming
    • Run-time representation
    for classes makes it • Needs recompile if
    possible to dynamically libraries are updated
    link classes into a running
    system
    • Load libraries when
    • Loads classes as needed, compiled
    even from across networks
    Nice features combined with the Internet
    applications make JAVA programming
    appealing and fun

    The complicated or even some confusing


    features make C++ programming
    error prone
    • C++ is a high performance and powerful
    language. Most of the industry software is
    written in C/C++
    • JAVA’s cross-platform compatibility and
    convenient APIs for networking and multi-
    threading have won it a place in the business
    world. Java is the logically next step in the
    evolution of C++
