Intro language: C++ or Java

Hello all. Today I would like to talk about the 2 different languages that most schools use in their introduction to programming courses: C++ or Java. I was looking up earlier which one would be more beneficial to use and determined that it all depends what the students want to do in the future. In fact, the syntax of the two different languages are very similar to each other which may be because Java was derived from C++, but there are many differences. One of the most important differences is the speed, where C++ programming is significantly faster than Java programming . The advantage to Java programming though is its use in object oriented programming with their use of the GUI,or graphical user interface. A person, or school that is trying to learn and teach the art of making games online might want to use Java because of its graphics and also because some experts see C++ as being outdated. However, a person having to solve company based issues with tough or long algorithms may choose to write the program in C++, due to its simplicity and its speed. Schools may never agree which programming language to teach first, due to the advantages of each, but both are used in the business world effectively.
