Comparison Between Java And C++ Java and C++ both are high-level languages and both have somewhat similar syntax but have different uses, purposes, dynamics, advantages etc. C++ was the extension to C language. It inherits its syntax from C language and it adds object-oriented programming (OOP) paradigm, so it was first called "C WithClass" then its name was renamed by C++. Java is totally based on object-oriented programming paradigm developed to overcome platform dependence problems. Java language is influenced by C++ because it inherits most of its syntax from C++, so it is from then being assumed that both are same languages but scenario is totally different in both languages. C++ language was developed for making use of modern techniques and features by extending C language with some new features like static typing, object-oriented programming (OOP) paradigm, generic programming, template metaprogramming, STL (Standard Template Library) and exception handling etc....
