C++ is more powerful than Java, certainly. But, that's a pretty general question. Does Java have uses ? Yes. Is Java used a lot ? On phones, maybe, but almost never in Windows, and I doubt much on Mac. Java is the language for Android phones. C++ stands out in that all the other languages are similar to each other and different to C++, except for Objective C, which is used for Mac development, including iPhone and iPad. I'd say that for engineering, C++ is a good choice. The other choice in my mind is C#, not Java, but while it's easier, I'd think C++ is more likely to be used for engineering purposes.

Did you learn defining of custom operators for classes? If you want to compare two objects which are not numbers, you need to define the operator, right?

Same thing about languages. Who do you think defined the order relationship which would rank the language quality. I guess different engineers from different application fields will write different ordering rules, but most would deny this fruitless task.

Even statistics on the language usage won't be very useful. You know, we use such a meme illustrating some level of well… alternative intellect: "Average temperature in the hospital". One can average the temperature of all patients, those with fever and those who had died and tell the average. How useful the result is?

I hope you got my hint. :-)

this is not right place to compare both language, every langauge has it's own advantage and disadvantage. if you looking for performance driven code, no body can beat C++.. However you looking for flashy UI and application development is less time you can go for JAVA. totally dependent on customer choice :-)
