C++ vs Java

There are many differences between C++ and Java, given below.

Comparison	C++	Java
Platform-independent	C++ is a platform-dependent language.	Java is a platform-independent language.
Used for	C++ is mostly used for system programming.	Java is mostly used for application programming.
Goto	It supports goto statement.	It doesn't support goto statement.
Multiple inheritance	It supports multiple inheritance.	It doesn't support multiple inheritance through class.
Operator Overloading	It supports operator overloading.	It doesn't support operator overloading.
Pointers	C++ makes use of the pointers. We can write a pointer program in C++.	Java supports pointer internally but we can't write the pointer program in Java.
Compiler and Interpreter	C++ uses only the compiler.	Java uses both compiler and interpreter.

Thus, we learnt, C++ is mostly used for system programming and Java is mostly used for an Application programming and also learns many other differences between in C++ and Java.
