A COMPARISION BETWEEN JAVA AND C++

Java and C++
A critical comparison
Software engineers are being forced to become multi-lingual. Any of you who have had the
pleasure of creating a web site know this. Reading this article will be something like that. I
freely swap between C++ and Java throughout. Those of you who are not familiar with Java
need not fear, you will find the syntax to be very similar to C++. However, for serious readers, a
Java reference guide might be a good thing to have nearby. Fortunately, the entire API for the
current release of Java is on-line at www.javasoft.com/products/JDK/
CurrentRelease/api/.
I want to make it very clear this is not a diatribe against one language or another. I happen to
like both Java and C++ quite a bit. I have been a long time programmer in C++, and have just
begun to program in Java. I find programming in Java to be a joy. But then, I find programming
in any language to be a joy, even JCL ;-).
This paper is simply a discussion of the differences in the two languages. I will not be
commenting heavily upon deficiencies in C++. These are already very well documented (see Ian
Joyner's famous critique of C++. For a copy write to: ian@syacus.acus.oz.au) I will, however,
be commenting about both the good and bad points that I perceive in Java. When I have good
things to say, this should not be taken as a recommendation of Java. By the same token, when I
have bad things to say, this should not be taken as a admonition against the use of Java. In both
cases, it is just me venting my opinion. Nothing more.
Up front, I'll say that I am looking forward to writing lots of neat Java applications and applets.
But that I am not going to give up C++ any time soon either.

Difference between net platform and dot net framework...

Difference between net platform and dot net framework... .net platform supports programming languages that are .net compatible. It is the platform using which we can build and develop the applications. .net framework is the engine inside the .net platform which actually compiles and produces the executable code. .net framework contains CLR(Common Language Runtime) and FCL(Framework Class Library) using which it produces the platform independent codes. What is the .NET Framework? The Microsoft .NET Framework is a platform for building, deploying, and running Web Services and applications. It provides a highly productive, standards-based, multi-language environment for integrating existing investments with next-generation applications and services as well as the agility to solve the challenges of deployment and operation of Internet-scale applications. The .NET Framework consists of three main parts: the common language runtime, a hierarchical set of unified class librari

C++ this Pointer, static, struct and Enumeration

C++ this Pointer In C++ programming,  this  is a keyword that refers to the current instance of the class. There can be 3 main usage of this keyword in C++. It can be used  to pass current object as a parameter to another method. It can be used  to refer current class instance variable. It can be used  to declare indexers. C++ this Pointer Example Let's see the example of this keyword in C++ that refers to the fields of current class. #include <iostream>    using   namespace  std;   class  Employee {       public :           int  id;  //data member (also instance variable)               string name;  //data member(also instance variable)            float  salary;          Employee( int  id, string name,  float  salary)             {                   this ->id = id;                  this ->name = name;                  this ->salary = salary;            }             void  display()             {                 cout<<id<< "  " <<name<&
