is c++ harder than java?

Question

of course this could be a rather subjective question, but would you say that c++ is more challening than java? I am currently learning the latter and just dabbling a bit with the former, however, I may be interested to go deeper with this. curious to know your thoughts on this.

Answer 1

Both are kind of same but it's up to you which one you are taking easily. For me, I'd go with Java.

Answer 2

Java is easier to learn as it is more forgiving, if you make mistakes and the syntax is not as complex as in C++. Nevertheless, Java in practice is oftentimes used in web development for which extensive libraries exist. These libraries I found hard to work with.

Answer 3

if you lear c++ you would be able to learn any language because it s the hardest one, it combines the difficulties of c and it allows you to practice objet a d classes.

Answer 4

@alaa: Not any language... There's still assembler which is probably more difficult than the non-esoteric rest.

Answer 5

C++ it's harder just because it allows you to do lower level operations, expecially when talking about memory. I think c++ it's worth learning as first language, because if you learn c++ you will able to learn pretty much every other language, and c++ it's so powerful.
