Python vs Java: How Do They Compare?

When it comes to programming and coding, the programming language plays only half the role. Most of the heavyweight work is done by the coder to think on his toes - regardless of the language. That said, it is still an example of a situation if you are new to the world of programming, but few know about the differences in different programming languages. Today we look at a comparison of two of the most popular languages   among developers back and forth - Java and Python,

Both of these programming languages   have their similarities and unique features that distinguish them. The most striking similarity between Python and Java is their 'object-oriented' design. However, they also have prominent differences.

Let's look at the areas where Python and Java differ.

Dynamic vs. Static Typing

The main difference between Python and Java is that although the former is typed dynamically, the latter is typed statically.

When we say that Python is dynamically typed, we mean that Python allows you to change the type of variables. For example, you can replace an integer in your code with a string. However, you must ensure that the object to which a name refers supports the operations needed to execute that specific object in the code. For example, a code may contain two types of objects: Cat and Dog. Although Cat and Dog can both support the operation 'run', it also corresponds to 'friend'. As long as the code only refers to the normal operation 'run', it does not matter if it relates to Cat or Dog. This is known as "Duck Typing."

In contrast, Java requires that you define the variable type strictly once you first enter it into the code. You cannot change the variable type later in the program. This is known as static typing.

While many coders argue that dynamic typing is convenient and more comfortable to work with, others will argue that static typing helps reduce the risk of undetected errors in the code.

Indentation vs. Braces

Like most programming languages, Java uses curlers to define the beginning and end of each function and class in the code. On the other hand, Python uses indentation to separate the code into blocks. An advantage of setback is that it allows you to set up your program in a way that is easier to read and understand. Also, there is no possibility of errors in the code due to decomposition. However, while working with Python, make sure you end the indentation with a colon.

Compatibility vs. Speed

When it comes to portability and compatibility, Java has the upper hand over Python - it can be used to design platform-independent apps. If any device (computer or mobile) can run JVM, it can support Java applications without any problems. Looking at how popular Java is for web and desktop applications, it can be safely assumed that most devices are JVM integrated. So they can run any Java application efficiently. In contrast, you need a compiler to run Python programs to convert the Python code into the version compatible with your operating system. However, if a Java code runs on JVM, it usually runs slower than Python codes.

When comparing these features, Python is recommended by most programmers as the easy language of the two, ideal for newcomers. However, Java occupies a prominent place among programming languages   and is widely used for the development of Android apps and web apps. No matter what language you choose, you must remember that programming is fundamentally about logic. It's about building your computer skills. The key is to be versatile. If you have mastered one programming language and have the basic understanding of programming concepts, you can easily switch to any other programming language.


All of these differences will help you choose a language to start with.
