The Syntax of java is similar to C++ ,but java does not support Pointers,multiple inheritance,goto statement and operator overloading.Features of C++ that slow down application development cycle have been omitted in Java,like java has a garbage collector,so unlike C++ in java we don't need to deallocate the memory, or worry about memory fragmentations.
The major advantages of Java:Object OrientedWrite once, run anywhere. Java has better portability than any other languages.Support multi-threading, socket communication, automatic garbage collectionSupport web based application (JSP, Servlet, Applet), distributed application (RMI, EJB, Socket) and network protocols (HTTP)Because of it virtual machine it is more secure.
Java s biggest advantage is portability of code and its power lies in its APIs.It offers support to various types of applications and is a pure Object oriented language,while C++ is not.It is not Platform independent,but performance wise it is better than Java.
C++ is a Super set of C C++ is object oriented programming Based Language Java also OOP's Language Advantages Data Encapsulation Polymorphism Inheritance Multi Threading Security= important is Platform independent you can Write a Program and Run in any Platform
Java is easier, I mean its elegant, logical and makes more sense , it has a huge community , and of course its a platform independent "Write ONCE run anywhare"
No preprocessor. Far fewer special cases. No confusing features such as overloaded operators, independent functions, global variables, goto statement, structures, or pointers.
