Difference between Java, C and Python

• Syntax

  • C and Java use { and } to describe code blocks (also scopes)

• Classes:

  • Java and Python support Object Oriented programming (OOP)

    • Supports classes and inheritance

  • C does not support classes. Closest things are pure 'data classes' called structs

  • All code within Java needs to exist within a class
