1.  Java

      Since Android was officially launched in 2008, Java has been the default development language to write Android apps. This object-oriented language was initially created back in 1995.

                    

       Java was released on 1995 by Sun Microsystems. It is not only a programming language but an ecosystem of tools. It covers almost everything you may need for Java development. Java toolkit includes: JDK (Java Development Kit), JRE (Java Runtime Environment), and IDE (Integrated Development Environment). 

    Java is one of the most famous and most learned languages around the globe. It's celebrating 24 years of successful life-cycle this year. Still today, many developers consider it the best language for developing desktop applications. According to the TIOBE Index, it is the second most used language after C, and it has been in the top 2 since the beginning of the Index.

    Java lies in the middle from a technical and functional point of view. You will need 8 GB of RAM to process its applications effectively. 8 GB RAM is recommended for running, but it can run on relatively lesser specs. It requires at least 50 GB ROM to operate successfully. Furthermore, JDK (Java Development Kit) or JRE (Java Runtime Environment) are a must prerequisite of numerous tools used for development. For example, NetBeans is a great tool if you are starting as a Java developer.

Pros

·  1.      Easy to learn.

     Java programming Language is very easy to learn. This programming language is easy to write, compile, debug, and learn than other programming languages for programmers.

2.      Object-oriented programming language

     Java is a object oriented programming language. It allows programmers to create modular programs and the codes are reusable.

3.      Platform-independent.

   Among the advantages, Java being a platform independent is a major one. Being platform independent, this programming language can be easily from one computer system to another.

4.      Multi-threaded

   Java is a multi-threaded program which means that it can perform several tasks simultaneously within a program.

5.      Secure

   The Java language, compiler, interpreter, and run-time environment were developed to aid for the security purpose.

CONS :

1.      Slow

    In comparison to other programming language, Java is comparatively slower. Slow compilation of the programs annoys a programmer and is one of the drawbacks of the Java programming language.

2.      Occupies More Memory Space

    One of the other disadvantages of Java language is the memory space. Developers of the language haven’t been able to overcome it. Java takes more memory space than the other programming languages like C and C++.

3.      Look and feel

   The default looks and feel of GUI applications which is written in Java using the Swing toolkit is different from other applications written in other compiler language.

4.      Java’s Architecture Code is Inefficient

  Java’s ability to use the code for producing portable, architecturally code is quite inefficient. Once java code is compiled into byte code, a JVM interpreter, mainly designed for a computer architecture, runs the program.

    Most organizations use Java in one way or another. A wide range of use makes these applications almost invisible, which is why the question “where to use Java” is often raised. These domains can be covered by Java:

     Android apps.

    Software products

      Finance programs. 

      Point of sale systems.

      Trading applications. 

      Big data programs.

C++

   C++ is a low-level programming language that adds object-oriented features. It is also known as "C with Classes". It made its first public appearance in 1985, although it was designed in 1979 by Bjarne Stroustrup. C++ is usually used for applications that work directly with hardware and in the gaming industry.

    C++ requires relatively low desktop specs to function. It only takes 24 MB ROM memory and 4 GB RAM. To get maximum productivity, it is a good idea using a multi-core system. Linux also supports the direct installation and function of C++.

It is an extension of the popular C-programming language that can be used for general purposes. This AI programming language is designed to incline to the framework programming that is inserted to adapt to resource-limited software in large systems.               

       With abundant tools, libraries and functions, C/ C++ takes the top slot in Robotics programming platform as most programmers/ aspiring “Robotics Engineer” use C/C++ to ensure the peak performance from the Robot. C/ C++ is a must-learn programming language if you are serious about building a career in the Robotics industry because these two are considered the most mature programming languages in Robotics because they allow easy interaction with low-level hardware.

 The speed of C++ is the greatest benefit since AI development has complex computations and this language can make the calculations faster.  The Arduino microcontroller uses a programming language based on C and is a great way to learn the basics of this important language whilst doing hands-on robotics.

Pros

·         Used by companies like Adobe Systems, Amazon, Facebook, and many others.

·         It is lightweight.

·         Supports multiple inheritances.

Cons

·         It is challenging to learn.

·         You need to manage memory manually.

·         It is not highly promoted like C# (Microsoft) and Java (Oracle), which means there are no releases from these big companies to make developers' life more comfortable.

C#(.NET)

       C# made its way into the programming world in 2002, and it is an object-oriented programming language. Developed by Microsoft, by using their .NET framework, it is used as a framework for many other languages as well, so today, it is used as a general-purpose programming language.

Pros

·         Just like Java, C# is a compiled language. It means that the program execution is fast and multi-threaded.

·         C# is easily integrated into windows, which means it doesn't require any special software or frameworks to run.

·         It comes in handy when a team of developers is working on one project. The code is simple enough to integrate and understand.

Cons

·         The most considerable disadvantage of C# by far is that Microsoft has terminated support for some of the older versions of .NET frameworks, which might create a problem for developers in the long run.

·         C# requires the windows platform as a host to work. It is not the right choice for programmers working in a Linux environment.
