Some other differences between C++ and Java

Posted by Vijay on June 17, 2000 at 3:29 AM

1. C++ is an object-based language. Java is an object oriented
language. (You can write prefect C++ code with out classes
but its not possible in Java.

2. There are no namespaces in Java.

3. Execption handling is a must in Java.

4. All instances execept that of primitive data types are
created on heap in Java.

5. The size of primitive data type (like int, float etc.) are
fixed in Java. The sizes are defined in limits.h in C++.

And many more...
