Python Language vs C++ Language

Python is an object-oriented, high-level programming language developed by Guido Van Rossum. It is imperative, functional, reflective, and procedural.

C++ is a programming language that offers low-level memory manipulation capabilities. It’s widely used in software development, game development, and system software. The C++ language is procedural, object-oriented, functional, and generic.

Differences between Python and C++

Python vs C++

The key differences between Python and C++ are as follows:

Python	C++
Python uses dynamic typing and has automatic memory management. Automatic memory management is done with reference counting.	C++ is statically typed and requires manual memory management. Memory management is done using new and delete operators.
Python doesn’t support pointers.	C++ language use of pointers.
In Python, types of arguments and variables need not be declared.	In C++, it is mandatory to declare the type of arguments and variables.
Python provides automatic garbage collection.	C++ does not perform automatic garbage collection.
Implementations: Some of the Python implementations are : CPython IonPython jPython	Implementations: Some of the C++ implementations are : Turbo C++ Microsoft Visual C++ Intel C++
Python code is more compact than C++ code, so it takes less time to develop a Python program.	C++ coding requires more lines of code, and therefore, it is time-consuming to write C++ programs.
