C++ Vs Java

C++	Java
C++ is an extension of C with object-oriented behavior.	Java is a true and complete object-oriented language.
It offers template classes.	It does not provide template classes.
It achieves multiple inheritance by permitting classes to inherit from multiple classes.	It supports multiple inheritance using interfaces.
Global variables can be declared in C++.	It does not provide global variables.
It supports pointers.	It does not support pointers.
In C++, destruction of object is performed by destructor function.	In java, destruction of objects is performed by finalize method.
It has header files.	It doesn’t provide header file.
It supports operator overloading.	It does not support operator overloading.
The test expressions for control flow constructs return an integer value.	The test expressions for control flow constructs return a Boolean value.
There is scope resolution operator (: :) in C++.	There is no scope resolution operator in java.
It does not support documentation comments.	It has built in support for documentation comments (/**………*/).
It is compiled directly to machine code which is then executed directly by the central processing unit.	It is compiled to byte – code which the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) then interprets at runtime.
It does not support multithreading.	It supports multithreading.
It supports go to statement.	It does not support go to statement.
Virtual keyword is present in C++.	There is no virtual keyword.
String in C++ are array of characters.	Strings in java are objects.
Strings are terminated by null character.	Strings are not terminated by null character.
It supports structures or unions.	It does not support structures or unions.
It only uses compiler.	It uses both compiler and interpreter.
It doesn’t use packages.	It uses packages.
It has a preprocessor.	It does not have a preprocessor.
It is mainly used for developing system software.	It is mainly used for developing applets.
It supports storage classes like auto, extern etc.	It does not support storage classes.
It supports default arguments.	It does not support default arguments.
It supports typedef keyword.	It does not support typedef keyword.
Inline functions can be made in C++.	There are no inline functions in java.
It generates object code and the same code may not run on different platforms.	It is interpreted for the most part hence platform independent.
We may not include the try/catch even if the function throws an exception.	In java, try/catch must be defined if the function declares that it may have thrown an exception.
It has low portability.	It has high portability.
It supports multi-dimensional arrays.	It does not support multidimensional arrays. However, it is possible to create arrays of arrays to represent multidimensional arrays.
Standard output example in C++, cout<<”Hello”;	Standard output example in java, System.out.print(”Hello”);
