C++ was introduced to make programming easier and more pleasant for the programmer. But Python became more popular for its concise and easily-readable code, earning high regard for its easy to use and simplicity to new developers. But which of the two is better? Python or C++?
| Python | C++ |
| Flexible, object – oriented and open source programming language designed to raise development quality expectations in the scripting domain | General purpose programming language which is best suited for resource constrained-applications such as those found in software infrastructures. |
| Inbuilt garbage collection system ensures efficient memory management in python. | Does noy need garbage collector because it has no garbage. |
| Both dynamically typed and strongly typed language in which type checking is done at run time. | Statically typed language in which variable types are explicitly declared and are determined at compile time. |
| Easier to learn and write code. | Less versatile and more difficult to learn. |
| Rapid prototyping is possible due to small size of the code. | Rapid prototyping is not possible due to large size of the code. |
