I have basic knowledge of C and C++, I have learnt pretty much in python. Now, which among Java and C# is the better choice?

Question

I would avoid a completely new syntax. But if that's worth risking then I can... take the harder choice. Just asking for which of Java and C# is better...

Answer 1

C# is very portable, Windows, Linux, Mac, Android

And can use it for every purpose:
* desktop
* web
* server-side
* gamedev
* mobile
* and much more

Answer 2

Java, and C# both are general purpose languages. They are similar kind of languages. Java covers more ground since it can run in different places, C# is good for Windows desktop development as well as for making games. Both can be used for web and mobile development.
