Python vs C++

Python and C++ are two of the most widely used programming
languages, each with its own unique strengths and applications. In
this presentation, we will explore the key differences between
these two powerful languages, helping you make an informed
decision on which one to use for your next project.
Introduction to Python and C++
Python C++

Python is a high-level, interpreted, and versatile C++ is a powerful, compiled, and multi-paradigm
language known for its simplicity, readability, and ease language that combines the low-level control of C with
of use. It is widely used in areas such as web object-oriented programming features. It is widely used
development, data science, and machine learning. in system programming, game development, and high-
performance applications.
Syntactical Differences
Syntax Braces and Indentation
Python uses a more readable, English-like syntax, while C++ Python uses indentation to define code blocks, while C++ uses
has a more verbose and punctuation-heavy syntax. curly braces for the same purpose.

Variable Declaration
Python uses dynamic typing, while C++ requires explicit
variable declaration and type specification.
Performance and Efficiency

may be the better choice.
Memory Management
1 Manual vs. Automatic
C++ requires manual memory allocation and deallocation,
while Python's automatic garbage collection simplifies
memory management.

2 Pointers
C++ provides direct access to memory addresses through
the use of pointers, which can lead to more complex code
but also greater control.

3 Heap and Stack


C++ offers more fine-grained control over the heap and
stack, while Python's memory management is more
abstracted from the developer.
