C++ vs JAVA 

• This In-Depth Tutorial Explains Some of The Key Differences Between Two Object-Oriented Programming Languages C++ Vs Java:

• C++ and Java both are object-oriented programming languages. Yet, both languages differ from each other in many ways.

• C++ is derived from C and has the features of both procedural and object-oriented programming languages. C++ was designed for application and System development.

• Java is built upon a virtual machine which is very secure and highly portable in nature. It is grouped with a comprehensive library to provide support for the abstraction of the existing platform.

• Java was mainly designed for application programming and has a functionality of an interpreter for printing systems which was later developed into network computing.

What is C++?

The C++ programming language is derived from C, and it contains the properties and features of this language. C++ was mainly created for the development of systems and applications. It was C++ language that first brought in concepts such as classes and objects. It is capable of encapsulating both low-level and high-level features of C

What is Java?

Java is built using a virtual machine, which allows developers to maintain the security of the code and make it highly portable. Java is integrated with a comprehensive library that offers support for abstraction. This language is specifically created to program applications. 

Differences Between Java and C++

Parameter	C++	Java
Platform-independent	C++ is platform-dependent.	C++ is platform-independent.
Mainly used for	C++ is mainly used for system programming.	Java is mainly used for application programming. It is widely used in Windows-based, web-based, enterprise, and mobile applications.
Memory Management	Use of pointers, structures, union	No use of pointers. Supports references, thread and interfaces
Multiple Inheritance	Provide both single and multiple inheritance	Multiple inheritance is partially done through interfaces
Operator Overloading	Supports operator overloading	It doesn’t support this feature
Portability	Platform dependent, must be recompiled for different platform	Platform independent, byte code generated works on every OS.
Thread Support	No built-in support for threads, depends on libraries.	It has built-in thread support.
Developed / Founded by	C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in 1979. It was developed as an extension of the C language.	Java was developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems. Now, it is owned by Oracle.
Programming model	It has support for both procedural programming and object oriented programming.	Java has support only for object oriented programming models.
Compilation and Interpretation	C ++ is only compiled and cannot be interpreted.	Java can be both compiled and interpreted.
Memory Management	In C++, memory management is manual.	In Java, memory management is System controlled.
Global Scope	In C++, both global and namespace scopes are supported.	Java has no support for global scope.
Access control and object protection	Flexible model with constant protection available	The cumbersome model encourages weak encapsulation.
Goto Statement	C++ has a goto statement. Although, it is not ideal to a use a goto statement.	Java has no goto statement. The keywords got, and const are reserved even if they are not used.
Scope resolution operator	C++ has scope resolution operator (: :) which is used to define a method outside of a class and to access a global variable within from the scope where a local variable also exists with the same name.	No scope resolution operator (: :) in Java. The method definitions have to occur within a class, so there is no need for scope resolution.
Supporting method	C++ supports both method overloading & operator overloading	Java only supports method overloading. It does not provide support for operator overloading.
Libraries	Predominantly low-level functionality	Massive, classes for high-level services.
Runtime error detection	Programmer responsibility.	System Responsibility.
