- First Java codes are compiled into byte code and then it is runs on a Java Virtual Machine regardless of the underlying architecture.
- Java syntax are similar to C / C++ .It does not provide low-level programming functionalities like pointers.
- Java codes are always written in the form of classes and objects.
- It is used in all kinds of applications like web application, mobile application, desktop application, client-server application, enterprise application and many more.
- Java does not allow many things which may lead to bad/inefficient programming if used incorrectly so, only Java codes are generally more maintainable.
- The programs are written in Java typically run faster than corresponding Python programs and slower than C++. Like C++, Java does static type checking, but Python does not, when compared with Python.
