Why do we need Java instead of C++?

Java does not use pointers that make it a type-safe programming language. Java uses Generics, whereas C++ uses templates. The JVM helps in efficient code optimization, so the performance of the execution of the program is better than as that of C++.

Why Java is more object oriented than C++?

Java is a completely object-oriented programming language. C++ allows direct calls to the native system libraries. Hence it is more suited for system-level programming. Java has no direct call support to its native libraries.

Why did Java come into existence?

Java was created at Sun Microsystems, Inc., where James Gosling led a team of researchers in an effort to create a new language that would allow consumer electronic devices to communicate with each other. Code in other languages is first translated by a compiler into instructions for a specific type of computer.

Why did you choose C++ programming language over other programming languages?

C++ is a highly portable language and is often the language of choice for multi-device, multi-platform app development. C++ has a rich function library. C++ allows exception handling, and function overloading which are not possible in C. C++ is a powerful, efficient and fast language.

Why Java is called completely object oriented language and why C++ is partially object oriented language?

Here are the reasons C++ is called partial or semi Object Oriented Language: Main function is outside the class : C++ supports object-oriented programming, but OO is not intrinsic to the language. You can write a valid, well-coded, excellently-styled C++ program without using an object even once.

Is Java or C++ more useful?

Java is more widely known and versatile, so it’s also easier to find a Java developer than a “harder” language such as C++. Overall, C++ can be used for almost anything, but it’s not always necessary to use it. Java is usually sufficient and can be much more effective for your project.

Is Java a purely object-oriented programming language?

Due to my little knowledge and less experience, I easily accepted these reasons and started to believe that Java is not a purely Object-Oriented Programming Language. But later on I found that for every object JVM creates two objects: The object itself.

Why is Java such a popular language?

Java is an object-oriented language. It’s one of the few 100 percents object-oriented language, which makes developing OOP applications very easy. That’s another reason that made it a popular language. Because you cannot write a simple program in Java without it being object-oriented.

Does Java follow object oriented programming paradigm?

Some years back when I was learning Java, I got to know that Java follows Object Oriented Programming paradigm and everything in Java is an object either it is a String (which was a char array in C) or an array itself.

Why is C programming language so popular?

One of the reasons for its popularity is, it’s considered one of the oldest languages. And the experienced programmers find it convenient for them to stick to their comfort zone instead of moving to a new language. It is one of the most fundamental languages that is used to produce software for multiple platforms.
