What exactly can you make with these programming languages?

[Grand Exchanger]

Well What are programing languages such as C# C++ JAVA HTML what are they really used for what kind of programs can you make? or do you make like websites with them? someone fill me up on this and try to specify what programming language is best for what =D

 

[Furbster4]

Google???

C#, C++ = Creating Programs

Java = No Idea.... Never used it...

HTML = Creating Webpages/Websites.

Java can be used for some standard programs, Runescape was made with it ^_^ its mainly used for applets, can't be used to run a nuclear power plant (says that in the EULA)

 

[Grand Exchanger]

what kind of programs

 

[Nullware]

can't be used to run a nuclear power plant

Java could actually be used to do that but it ISN'T because of performance issues. Under such intense cirumstances when even milliseconds can mean life or death, more robust high performance languages like C/C++ are used and sometimes even assembly in the most crucial of cases.

what kind of programs

Everything you use on your computer is written in one programming language or another. (In some cases even multiple when it is better to have certain components written in a different language for one reason or another).

If you do you are breaking the agreement with Sun, and they can take legal action against you. :/


Same with missile systems...

I don't know that they would take legal actions against you. It's just that they don't want to be held responsible if/when something goes wrong.

It's very likely that something would go work because Java running on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is incredibly less performing than other high level languages when you really get to analyzing it all.

Yes, but if you decided to go make a missile defense system for the USA with java, I do not think Sun would be happy thinking that we all might die if their software fails, so they might take legal action... But yes, using java would be done because it is slow.

omg I feel sad for you and your total lack of programming knowledge xD oh well..
and lol, arguing about weather Java could be used to run a nuclear power plant or not xD

 

[demonavenger]

^ Lol it seems these two are getting a little off topic

Programming languages can be used for anything, and that's the whole point. Once you learn to the point that you're confident in your skills in that language, you can develop a lot of whatever you feel like. There are no limitations to what any languages can be used for.

*cough* compares Visual Basic to C/C++.

Lol xD agrees

As a Comp. Sci major, you can make ANYTHING with a solid object oriented language as long as you have:

A: Time
B: Caffeine
C: No Life

a) Definitely.
b) Most certainly.
c) Probably, in terms of socializing.

java makes web based apps

C/C++ makes various programs works best as a basic tcp flooder though

WTF.

a) Java does NOT make web based apps, 90% of the time java is used for applications. You can make java applets which can be embeded into a HTML page.

b) C++ does NOT work best as a TCP flooder. You clearly have no idea what C++ actually is and the scale of it. I can guarantee you that +80% of the programs on your computer are programmed in C++ and most games are also made with C++.

A) JAVA was made as an internet-based language by Sun as the internet grew more popular. Its mass strength is in the internet content, so I'm afraid you're wrong there.

B) I can guarantee that 89.4% of statistics are pulled out of nowhere on the spot. But honestly, a lot of Microsoft applications for Windows use .Net nowadays, but C++ is definitely available to make things SUCH AS a TCP flooder if you want to.

For your info, a lot of base-operating system software is written in C, not C++.

Edit: I think I'll point out that a LOT of applications are written in languages like Python, Ruby and so on. Especially on Linux (which I use a lot).

Originally, it was made for applets. But now, Sun are focusing more on desktop applications rather than applets, java applets are nowhere near as popular now since Flash was made.

You know this how? On the java downloads page it has runescape as a thing that uses java. Java will NEVER be widely used as a application maker unless you are able to create reliable executables, not just jars. If anything, java is moving more towards cell phones and non-traditional computer uses.
