How Java and C Plus Plus are used in Industry

Nowadays, CPP and Java are widely used in Industries for multiple applications. As you can see from PYPL Index Java still holds the second position and CPP (along with C) holds the fifth position.

Most Popular Programming Languages

Before we jump into How Java and C Plus Plus are used in industries, let’s understand them first. Java is one of the most popular programming languages, it’s not purely considered an Object-Oriented Language though it supports many primitive data types. Java syntax is similar to C and CPP but Java doesn’t provide low-level programming functionality like pointers. Also, Java codes are always written in the form of objects and classes.

On the other side, C Plus Plus is a general-purpose programming language and also, nowadays widely used for competitive programming. It has not only general-purpose uses but also object-oriented uses. C Plus Plus can be considered as an Object-Oriented Language. C Plus Plus runs on a lot of platforms such as Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac, etc.

Java

Java is a widely-used programming language for building Web apps and platforms. It’s a crucial networking language, especially for data centers that store and move Web-based data.

Now, you all must be wondering why do we use Java? Here is your answer,

1. Java is platform-independent, so a programmer can compile code on one operating system, and run it on another one (or the same one)
2. Java, unlike other programming languages, is easy to learn.
3. Java is a class-based object-oriented programming language. Everything in Java is treated as an object, and those objects, in turn, accomplish all of the program development tasks.
4. Multiple processes can run code at the same time, allowing multiple Java programming statements to be executed simultaneously rather than sequentially.

Applications Of Java

• Java Mobile Applications

The majority of mobile app developers use Java as their primary programming language. Java works with app development tools like Kotlin and Android Studio. Android applications employ Dalvik Virtual Machines, which is why Java is the language of choice for Android development. Java Platform, Micro Edition (also known as Java ME or J2ME) is a cross-platform framework for developing apps that run on all Java-enabled devices.

• Java Desktop GUI Applications

GUI stands for Graphic User Interface, and Java provides resources like Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT), JavaFX, and Swing to enable GUI creation. AWT includes a number of pre-made components, such as buttons, lists, and menus, as well as a number of third-party components. Swing interoperability and 3D graphics features are provided by JavaFX, which is made up of a series of graphics and media packages. Swing is a graphical user interface widget that includes advanced features including lists, scroll panes, tables, tabbed panels, and trees.

• Java Application Servers and Web Servers

Numerous Java web and application servers have sprung up as a result of the powerful Java ecosystem. Servlets such as Apache Tomcat, Project Jigsaw, and Rimfaxe Web Server are found on web servers (RWS). In the meantime, servlets such as WebLogic, WebSphere, and JBoss EAP have a strong presence in the commercial application server market.

• Java Web-Based Applications

Java is popular among web application developers because of its excellent security and simple coding. Servlets, Struts, and JSPs provide effective web application support and the ability to construct any type of software required. Furthermore, open-source e-commerce platforms such as Broadleaf make creating e-commerce apps a breeze.

• Java Gaming Applications

Java and the game business are a perfect combination. The jMonkey engine, one of the most powerful 3D engines available today, is supported by Java. 2D games are also simple to make; just combine Java with CSS and you’re set to go. So, regardless of the type of game that developers are creating, Java has them covered.

• Java Distributed Applications

Programs that run on numerous computers connected to the same network are known as distributed apps. Internet Explorer, for example, is a distributed application. Java is also used for this type of purpose.

• Java Scientific Applications

Mathematical operations and calculations in science necessitate the creation of apps that are incredibly quick, secure, easy to maintain, and portable. Java is an excellent fit for this requirement. Java is used as part of the core system and interacting user interfaces in powerful scientific applications like MATLAB.

• Java Cloud-based Applications.

Cloud computing is defined as the processing, management, and storage of data using off-site servers connected to the internet. It’s a pay-as-you-go model that takes the place of in-house local networks. For distributed computer systems, cloud computing is frequently employed.

The Oracle Java Cloud Service is one of many Java Cloud development tools available. It acts as a platform for quickly deploying and configuring Oracle WebLogic servers and their associated application environments

C Plus Plus

C++ is quicker than the majority of the other programming dialects and furthermore upholds multithreading with simultaneousness. In this way in Applications where speed alongside simultaneousness is required, C++ is the most sought-after language for improvement.

Aside from speed and execution, C++ is likewise near equipment and we can undoubtedly control equipment assets utilizing C++ low-level capacities. Subsequently, C++ turns into the conspicuous decision in applications that require low-level controls and equipment programming.

Applications Of C Plus Plus

• Graphic User Interface (GUI) based applications:

Numerous exceptionally utilized applications, like Image Ready, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, and Illustrator, are prearranged in C++.

• Games:

C++ is near the equipment, can without much of a stretch control assets, give procedural programming over CPU escalated works, and is quick. It is likewise ready to supersede the intricacies of 3D games and gives multi-facet organizing. Every one of these advantages of C++ settles on it an essential decision to foster the gaming frameworks just as game improvement suites.

• Operating Systems:

C++ structures an indispensable piece of a large number of the common working frameworks including Apple’s OS X and different variants of Microsoft Windows, and the past Symbian portable OS.

• Google applications:

Google applications like Google File System and Chrome program are written in C++.

• Banking Applications:

As C++ helps in simultaneousness, it turns into the default decision for banking applications that require multi-stringing, simultaneousness, and superior.

• Compilers:

Compilers of different undeniable level programming dialects are composed either in C or C++. The explanation is that both C and C++ are low-level dialects that are near equipment and can program and control the fundamental equipment assets.

• Medical and Engineering Applications:

Many progressed clinical types of gear, for example, MRI machines, use C++ language for prearranging their product. It is additionally essential for designing applications, for example, top-of-the-line CAD/CAM frameworks.

• Adobe framework:

The greater part of the uses of the adobe frameworks including Illustrator, Photoshop, and so on are created utilizing C++.

• Deep Learning

C++ is more efficient than most other languages. You can control each single resource starting from memory, CPU, and many other things. Most frameworks are implemented in C++under the hood, like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe, Vowpal, wabbit, and libsvm
