Java vs Python – Detailed Concept Comparison
Chart
Concept Java Syntax / Explanation Python Syntax / Explanation
Variables & Java is statically typed. int a = 10; double x = Python is dynamically typed. a = 10 x = 2.5 c =
Types 2.5; char c = 'A'; boolean flag = true; 'A' flag = True
Input Scanner sc = new Scanner([Link]); int x = x = int(input("Enter: "))
[Link]();
Output [Link]("Hello World"); print("Hello World")
Operators Arithmetic: + - * / % Logical: && || ! Relational: Arithmetic: + - * / % Logical: and or not
< > <= >= == Relational: < > <= >= ==
Conditional if(condition){ } else if(condition){ } else{ } if condition: ... elif condition: ... else: ...
Statements
Loops for(int i=0;i<5;i++){} while(i<5){} for i in range(5): ... while i < 5: ...
Arrays & Lists int arr[] = {1,2,3}; [Link]; arr = [1,2,3] len(arr)
Strings String s = "Hello"; [Link](); s = "Hello" len(s)
Functions / int add(int a, int b){ return a+b; } def add(a,b): return a+b
Methods
OOP: Class class A { int x; void show(){ } } class A: def __init__(self): self.x = 0 def
show(self): pass
Object Creation A obj = new A(); obj = A()
Constructors A(){ } // constructor def __init__(self):
Inheritance class B extends A { } class B(A):
Polymorphism Method Overloading (compile-time). Method Python supports overriding. Python does NOT
Overriding (run-time). support traditional overloading.
Exception try{ } catch(Exception e){ } finally{ } try: ... except Exception as e: ... finally: ...
Handling
