What are some of the key differences between C and Java?
No preprocessor — Java does not include a preprocessor and does not define any analog of C’s #define, #include, and so forth. Program constants are replaced with static final data_type = data_value; for example, static final double dPi = 3.1415926; No global variables — Java defines a very clean namespace. Packages contain classes, classes contain fields and methods, and methods contain local variables. Well-defined primitive type sizes — Unlike C, all of the primitive datatypes in Java have well-defined sizes. No pointers — Java classes and arrays are reference types and references to objects and arrays are akin to pointers in C. However, in Java there is no address operator or mechanism to increment or decrement a pointer (i.e., do pointer arithmetic). Garbage collection — The Java virtual machine performs garbage collmection so that Java programmers do not have to explicitly manage (e.g., release memory to the operating systems) memory used by all objects and arrays.
