Java Vs CPP Features

Java is platform-independent and robust, utilizing bytecode and features like garbage collection and strong memory management to avoid common programming errors. In contrast, C++ requires manual memory management and supports both procedural and object-oriented programming, allowing multiple inheritance directly. Key differences include Java's purely object-oriented nature and C++'s use of pointers and operator overloading.

Java vs C++ - Key Features and Differences

Key Features of Java That Make It Platform-Independent and Robust:

1. Platform Independence:

- Java programs are compiled into bytecode by the Java compiler.

- This bytecode can run on any device equipped with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), making Java

platform-independent ("Write Once, Run Anywhere").

2. Robustness:

- Java emphasizes early error checking, runtime checking, and strong memory management.

- Features like garbage collection, exception handling, and type checking make it more robust.

- Java avoids common programming errors such as pointer-related bugs.

Difference Between Java and C++ in Memory Management:

1. Java:

- Automatic garbage collection: Java handles memory deallocation automatically through the

garbage collector.

- No explicit use of pointers, which reduces memory corruption issues.

2. C++:

- Manual memory management: Programmers must explicitly allocate and deallocate memory using

`new` and `delete`.

- Pointers are heavily used, which can lead to memory leaks and dangling pointers if not handled

properly.
Difference Between Java and C++ in Object-Oriented Support:

1. Java:

- Purely object-oriented (except for primitive types).

- Everything (except primitives) is an object.

- Supports single inheritance, but multiple inheritance is achieved through interfaces.

2. C++:

- Supports both procedural and object-oriented programming.

- Allows multiple inheritance directly using classes.

- Includes features like operator overloading and friend functions, which are not present in Java.
