Introduction to Popular Programming Languages
Python Java JavaScript C++
Python is known for its Java is a robust and widely JavaScript is the language C++ is a powerful language
readability and versatility, used language for of the web, powering for performance-critical
making it suitable for enterprise applications, interactive elements, applications, game
various tasks like web Android development, and front-end development, development, and system
development, data science, large-scale software and server-side programming.
and machine learning. systems. applications.
Syntax and Readability Differences
Python Java
1 2
Emphasizes readability More verbose syntax,
with clear syntax and requiring semicolons and
indentation. curly braces.
JavaScript C++
3 4
Flexible syntax with a Low-level language with
focus on dynamic web more complex syntax and
interactions. memory management.
Data Types and Type Systems
Python Java
Dynamically typed, allowing Statically typed, requiring
for flexibility in data types. explicit type declarations for
variables.
JavaScript C++
Dynamically typed, with loose Statically typed with strong
type checking and implicit type checking, emphasizing
type coercion. memory efficiency.
Control Flow and Looping Constructs
Python Java JavaScript C++
Uses keywords like "for" and Similar to Python but with Offers various looping Provides traditional loop
"while" for loops and "if" more verbose syntax for constructs like "for", constructs like "for", "while",
statements for branching. loops and conditional "for...in", and "for...of", and "do-while", with strict
statements. along with conditional type checking.
statements.
Function Definitions and Calling
Conventions
Python
1
Uses "def" to define functions and uses indentation
for code blocks.
Java
2
Uses "public static void" to define functions and uses
curly braces for code blocks.
JavaScript
3
Uses "function" to define functions and uses curly
braces for code blocks.
C++
4
Uses "int" to define functions and uses curly braces
for code blocks.
Object-Oriented Programming Capabilities
Python
1 Supports OOP concepts like classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism.
Java
2
Purely object-oriented language with strong support for OOP principles.
JavaScript
3 Supports OOP concepts with prototype-based inheritance and
object-oriented features.
C++
4 Fully supports object-oriented programming with classes,
objects, and inheritance.
