I just started learning about java and i am quite an expert in c/C++..But all I've read about java is that its a better language because it doesn't require compilation every time used on another platform because once interpreted it creates a byte code that's standard for all platforms...Is this correct??
So Which is a better programming language according to you????

Both Java and C++ are good languages. Java and c++ are some of the most used programming language in the world. C++ is very similar to Java except that Java has some new libraries, features, etc. C++ has improved a lot. VC++ and C++ .NET are great platform to develop great applications with these 2 languages.
.NET has similar feature like Java's JVM which allows application to be created to run on different platform. VC++ and Borland C++ and other C++ versions are not providing virtual machine like options.

well, probably i also prefer to use assembly language than C++ or java.. you know why?? the more the language less known, the higher it demands..so i prefer to study more on assembly language..

C++ is much much better there is so much more you can do with it. Then again im not sure what you use it for.

now there is a big quarrel between people who like java and who prefer c++ .
java is "write once ,use anywhere "
and it has a more entire 'object oriented'
c++ can controle the underlayer easier and have a bigger market in windows applications.
in my opinion,java is good to learn ,i like it

I think Java is neater. You only work with classes, but in C you can also work outside the class which makes it a bit more complicated. I prefer Java for this reason. Also, there is no need to worry about pointers.
