Here you read so many times people were saying Java is?faster than Python or Python is more secure than Java and so on i.e. comparisons between them.
In this Blog we shall highlight & distinguish these languages based on some critical factors that?should land you to a conclusion on which one is better and why?
Introduction Both are general purpose widely-used object-oriented programming languages, but both?are used to build these applications running on the Internet So if we question as whos older then: The answer is Java; Python was already public around 2000 (It was in public around that time) but Java exists before that.
We are not saying Java is better or Python is better there?are so many factors depend on speed, scalability, machine code, security, simplicity, and many more.
There are also their own frameworks for both mentioned?languages. e.g., Java has Spring and Python has Django frameworks and both?of the frameworks are very powerful and used by millions of developers all over the globe.
You cant say what the one element makes one better than other because its everyones personal choice as to which one is easier to code for?them.
some think that JAVA is easy and some think?PYTHON is easy but the ultimately the more we practice the easier we get it. So, if you practice more on Python,?then obviously, you will say that Python is the best language.
Now, all we need to do is to compare and contrast between these two languages on based of?certain aspects.
My code written in Java runs faster than Python? Should I Learn Java?
Talking about the speed of execution then Yes! Java is faster to compile and run as compared to Python but how? Is Python a compiled language?
What most people donot know is that the Python code is also compiled and?translated into the bytecode before it runs. So how does it actually work? Lets discuss this in detail.
As we know in the case of Java first the source file is converted into the bytecode and this bytecode is run by the JVM(Java Virtual Machine) to get the?output so on this full process is very simple. Python is an interpreted language but it doesnt mean that compilation process?is not there, it is and it gets compiled.
Java is a statically typed language and you have to declare the data type of your variable when you initialize it while in Python you do not?need to declare the data type you can just write the variable name and initialize the same as you do in JavaScript. In python, it is the job of the interpreter to check all the variables?while type checking and other verifications in Java, is done at the time of compilation.
In Python, we write our code in a.py?file. py file and you run this file?with the python name. py then it compiles the?bytecode and puts it somewhere in your directory. The?complexity of this is hidden from user. It is compiled and it is?also interpreted but what goes first?
Python is compiled at runtime, and it happens?automatically. We dont actually have to execute?the bytecode.
Programmers are confused,?whether Python is compiled or interpreted. The Answer is… Python is not only one,?It is a compiled as well as Interpreted Language. Be?sure to keep this in mind the next time someone asks this nonsense.
When we write code in Java, we need to execute the byte code by the JVM, while on the contrary while writing code in Python, it gets?compiled automatically, and gets interpreted automatically.
The post?has as hidden secret that all think that Python is faster but No! JVM executes the bytecode faster than that of the PVM (Python Virtual Machine) and makes the process?super easy and fast.
But?Python is Easier to Learn!
Yes, this is the first reason that comes to mind for almost all the beginners learning Python, Its simple and easy to learn?as far as syntax is concerned. By comparing hello world program in both these languages?you can say in java you have to write 3-4 lines to print single statement whereas in python you can do this in just 1 line. This is?the beauty of Python, it is so easy to learn Python.
ByteEncode, For daily orders of code, Python becomes a dynamic sort language, so you dont have to?worry about the measure of Devs and the rest of the orders you Java. This is done, sometimes we have?this error because we try to save a long value into int but here you should not think at all about it. So you just, you know, kind of initialize your variables as?you please, you dont have to worry about that, so kind of like a freedom sort of feeling. Isnt it??
Java syntax actually is complex and use?lots of lines of code. If you are a Java developer more than a Python developer,?you likely have to write more lines of code.
But Yes! Its okay to write more.
White spaces are very important in?Python as you will get errors if you havent written your program with proper indentation. So basically whitespaces have no meaning in Java hence you are?free to use whatever the number of spaces you want.
When it comes to the community and?resources available online to learn, then both are good in that you can find various articles, tutorials on both these languages and can seek help on platforms such as Stackoverflow, GitHub, and so on.
Which one is in Trend Python or Java?
Most people take the easier?path and hence many beginner programmers find opportunities in Python than Java because it is simpler.
The Syntax mainly inherits the English language, that is why if you program in Python, you feel like you are writing?an article in English language. You will never get bored or feel frustrated in the beginning. The other reason for being in trend is because of AI and Machine Learning which?is much easier to implement in Python as compared to Java and many enthusiasts on these topics find Python helpful.
So no,?Python is nowhere near an end in AI, but Python does cover a very large scope beyond that in the front-end, hacking, scripting, soft computing, etc.
Which one is best for web?applications?
The evolution of web applications made it a necessity that security and performance are key?to be measured more than on others. In this both of the languages are good?as Django is In Python and one get Spring in Java.
Spring is a huge framework having modules like?cloud, security, … etc It is also secure and fast. Also, Django is a very?secure and high-scale framework for web applications.
Conclusion
After reading this article,?we hope that you come to the conclusion that both are better off with their own powers. Languages are simply for giving commands to your computer so it doesnt matter more they are just used for giving instructions as compared to logical thinking and these languages are not even thought of as a?skill. It is just an implementation.
