Java vs. Python: Which is the Best Programming Language?

Java was started as a project called ‘Oak’ by James Gosling in 1991, and the first implementation was Java 1.0 in 1995.

Python was created by Guido Van Rossum in the late 1980s, followed by the release of Python1.0 in 1994.

It is an object-oriented programming(OOP) language and with the provision of allowing the same program to be executed on multiple operating systems. 

It is a general-purpose, object-oriented language. It is in huge demand in the Rapid Application Development field due to its dynamic binding and dynamic typing options..

JDK, JVM, and JRE are the three main components of Java Programming Language.

There are no such components of the Python programming language.

Java

Python

Java is faster than Python because it is a compiled language.

Python is an interpreted language, making it slower than Java.

Java

Python

public class welcome {

public static void main (String args[ ] ) {

System.out.println (“ Welcome to Simplilearn ”) ;

}

}

print ( ‘ Welcome to Simplilearn ‘ )

Java

Python

Java requires a semicolon to present the end of the line.

Python does not require a semicolon to present the end of the line.

Java

Python

Indentation does not affect the compilation of programs in Java.

Proper indentation is significant in Python. The program will not compile if there is no appropriate indentation.

class Example {

public static void main (String args[]) {

int a = 5;

if (a>0) {

system.out.println("a is greater than zero");

}

else {

system.out.println("a is less than zero");

}

}

}

a=10

b=3

if b > a:

print("b is greater than a")

elif a==b:

print("a and b are equal")

else:

print("a is greater than b")

Java web frameworks are faster as compared to Python

Python web frameworks are slower as compared to Java.

Spark, Spring, Structs are the few examples of Java web frameworks.

Django and Flask are examples of Python web frameworks.

Java

Python

Java is used in many places, such as e-commerce websites, android applications, financial applications, and desktop applications.

Python is used in applications such as data analysis and machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
