Usually C/C++ outperform in almost all kinds of processing. All scientific operations and calculations needs high performance. For illustration purpose I tested simple program which prints from 1 to 10 million using C, C++ and JAVA. C++ program takes on an average of 33 sec, JAVA takes on average of...

Usually C/C++ outperform in almost all kinds of processing. All scientific operations and calculations needs high performance. For illustration purpose I tested simple program which prints from 1 to 10 million using C, C++ and JAVA. C++ program takes on an average of 33 sec, JAVA takes on average of 84 sec and C took 26 sec to print on a dual core 2.6 ghz mac. From Benchmark game these are the results for JAVA and C++ (C++ beats in all cases if speed is taken consideration). Java vs C++ g++ (64-bit Ubuntu quad core) But again, you will enjoy the performance of C++ only when it is well written and optimized. If not, you don’t see any difference between it and java. Java is also a beautiful language and it is meant for developing enterprise web applications and it has an inbuilt powerful garbage collection mechanism which C++ lacks and programmers have to take responsibility of destroying the unused objects. read less

JIT vs. Static Compiler As already said in the previous posts, JIT can compile IL/bytecode into native code at runtime. The cost of that was mentionned, but not to its conclusion: JIT has one massive problem is that it can't compile everything: JIT compiling takes time, so the JIT will compile only some parts of the code, whereas a static compiler will produce a full native binary: For some kind of programs, the static compiler will simply easily outperform the JIT. Of course, C# (or Java, or VB) is usually faster to produce viable and robust solution than is C++ (if only because C++ has complex semantics, and C++ standard library, while interesting and powerful, is quite poor when compared with the full scope of the standard library from .NET or Java), so usually, the difference between C++ and .NET or Java JIT won't be visible to most users, and for those binaries that are critical, well, you can still call C++ processing from C# or Java (even if this kind of native calls can be quite costly in themselves)... C++ metaprograming Note that usually, you are comparing C++ runtime code with its equivalent in C# or Java. But C++ has one feature that can outperform Java/C# out of the box, that is template metaprograming: The code processing will be done at compilation time (thus, increasing vastly compilation time), resulting into zero (or almost zero) runtime. read less

If you want to Learn Technology of JAVA & .NET, It's better to start from the very beginning, 1. C 2. C++ 3. Data Structure 4. Core JAVA / VB.Net 5. Advance JAVA / Asp.Net "It's better to clear all the stages to achieve the Technology you want to Learn." Thanks & Regards, Prof. Jimmy Thakkar
yes you are right...... always build your building from base....so that you will be master
