Python

Python is an interpreted, high-level programming language. It supports multiple programming paradigms, such as structural, procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming.

Python was originally developed by Guido van Rossum and was first released in 1991 as Python 0.9.0. Python 3.0 is the stable version, and it was released in 2008.

Java vs Python

Both Java and Python are high-level, object-oriented, and interpreted languages, but there are slight differences that will be discussed in this blog. Both languages are among the most trending programming languages with rich community support worldwide.

Index	Parameter	Python	Java
0	Way of typing	Dynamically typed	Statically typed
1	Way of execution	Uses interpreter	Uses both compiler and interpreter
2	Speed	Slower than Java	Faster than Python
3	Platform dependency	Platform dependent	Platform independent
4	Syntax	Simple and fewer lines of code	Complex (for beginners) and more lines of code

Differences

Beginner Friendly

Python’s syntax is much easier and simpler to write or understand compared to Java's syntax. If you are a complete beginner and want to start with a programming language, Python is a great choice.

Frameworks

Java has a variety of frameworks, such as Spring Boot, Hibernate, etc. Python, on the other hand, primarily offers two options: Django and Flask.

Speed

In terms of speed, Java is faster than Python. The speed of programming languages is crucial when writing code for larger audiences. A faster language can handle more users simultaneously. Java uses the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which compiles Java code into bytecode and improves speed compared to Python.

Dynamic vs Static Language

Python is a dynamically typed language, meaning that data types do not need to be explicitly declared. In contrast, Java is statically typed, and the data type must be specified when declaring variables.

Example:

Python: 
number = 10  // Integer
name = "Striver" // String

Java:
int number = 10; // Integer
String name = "Striver"; // String

Adaptability to New Technologies

Python has strong support for libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Matplotlib, NumPy, and Pandas, which are widely used in machine learning. Java has great libraries for technologies like blockchain used in cryptocurrencies.

Advantages of Java

Platform Independent: Java supports the JVM, allowing code to run on various systems if the bytecode and Java are installed on the machine.
Multithreading: Java supports multithreading, allowing multiple threads to run concurrently, which is beneficial when multiple programmers work on the same machine.
Security: Java does not allow direct access to the OS, reducing the chances of malicious code injecting into the OS, making Java a secure option.

Disadvantages of Java

Speed: Java requires interpretation before execution, which can take more time compared to compiler-based languages like C and C++.
Lines of Code and Complex Syntax: Java requires more lines of code, making it harder to remember the syntax, especially for beginners.
