Sup Coders!

Better learn C++ and its more easy to learn any language after that. Java isnt that useful.

In practice, you're likely to find your naively written Java code outperform your naively written C++ code in these situations (all of which I've personally observed):

• Lots of little memory allocations/deallocations. The major JVMs have extremely efficient memory subsystems, and garbage collection can be more efficient than requiring explicit freeing (plus it can shift memory addresses and such if it really wants to).
• Efficient access through deep hierarchies of method calls. The JVM is very good at eliding anything that is not necessary, usually better in my experience than most C++ compilers (including gcc and icc). In part this is because it can do dynamic analysis at runtime (i.e. it can overoptimize and only deoptimize if it detects a problem).
• Encapsulation of functionality into small short-lived objects.

In each case, if you put the effort in, C++ can do better (between free lists and block-allocated/deallocated memory, C++ can beat the JVM memory system in almost every specific case; with extra code, templates, and clever macros, you can collapse call stacks very effectively; and you can have small partially-initialized stack-allocated objects in C++ that outperform the JVM's short-lived object model). But you probably don't want to put the effort in

lol, University courses in Australia (well most?) force you to learn Java.
