With C++ knowledge, would i still have to learn Java to develop an app?

Question

I'm studying C++ at a college but want to start developing apps. Is it really necessary for me to study Java as well?

Answer 1

No, you can use Unity, Unreal Engine or the SDL for that purpose.

Answer 2

C++ will help u learn Java concepts much easier, but yes. Even though they have so much in common (OOP concepts), the syntax and other things are different. Now it depends on how good you are at C++. The better you are, the faster you will learn Java.

Answer 3

No, the SDL is a library for accessing graphics, audio and user input and the other ones are game engines. For compiling them you could use Visual Studio with the workload for mobile development, for example.

Answer 4

Thanks Dev!

Answer 5

Theresa, are those compilers that allow one to make apps via C++?
