Define Visual basic, java and c++?

All three are compiled programming languages, meaning they must be compiled into computer readable format in order to become executable.





The main differences are:


Visual Basic is a very powerful language but is tied into Windows. So integrating it into a database application or doing anything in Windows is extremely easy but once you go outside its comfort zone it gets a little hairy.





C++ is an extremely powerful language! You can do pretty much do anything you want on almost any platform. The downside is that it is very cryptic. If you want some examples look up the obfuscated code competition. Many modern video games are written in C++ or C because of its efficiency and capabilities.





Java is very closely tied to C. Java and C++ are both extensions of the C programming language but there are aspects of Java not included in C++ and there are aspects of C++ not included in Java. The bonus to Java is that it can run on ANY platform regardless of pretty much everything to do with the computer. A little feature added to most operating systems called Virtual Machines make it so Java can run anywhere without giving Java too much access to harm your computer. Usually whenever a Java App tries to overstep its bounds the operating system thats monitoring it will kill it. and by kill I mean send it a signal it isn't able to handle which will cause it to close.

Define Visual basic, java and c++?
they are all programming languages. it really depends what you want to do with them, while visual basic is very good, most internet ready apps use Java. C++ is also very good but a long harder to learn, it is very exacting in its syntax (rules)
