Differences between PYTHON and JAVA.
In this blog, I am trying to list out the differences between Python and Java.* Python and Java are two very different programming languages.
* Dynamic vs Static Typing
In python, you can declare a variable without type, python will infer the type of the variable based on the value assigned to it.
for eg:
x = 1 #here type of variable 'x' is number.
x = "hello" #here type of variable 'x' is string.
#in both case, we are not specifying the type of the variable.
Java forces you to define the type of a variable when you first declare it.A language is statically typed if the type of a variable is known at compile time. - static typing.
* Braces vs Indentation
Python uses indentation to separate code into blocks.
Java uses curly braces to define the beginning and end of code blocks.
* Portability
To run Python programs you need a compiler that can turn Python code into code that your particular operating system can understand. - source code to machine code.
Java is platform independent, Java code is compiled into bytecode which can be executed by JVM(platform dependent) of specific devices.
* Verbosity and Simplicity
Java syntax is verbose; Python syntax is clean and simple.
* Semicolon
Python statements do not need a semicolon to end.
if you miss a semicolon in Java, it throws an error.
* Comments
JAVA:
//This is a single-line comment
/*This is a multiline comment
Yes it is*/
PYTHON:
#This is a comment
