comparasion of VB.net, JAVA, C#, c++ , PASCAL, COBOL against each other with pros and cons of each?

Answer 1

Wikipedia has the detailed answer, but in short:

VB.net, C#: these two languages are relatively new, have only existed for 5 or 6 years. Code is compiled into 'Intermediate Language', which is not the same as assembly.

Java: Similar to C# in syntax, also uses a run-time instead of native code.

PASCAL: originally a learning language, still used to this day! (very old lang)

COBOL: used for business apps, like bank database stuff. also VERY old, but still very much in use.

C++: Newer than Pascal/cobol, but older than C#/VB.net and Java. This is an all-purpose language that can do anything from device drives to video games. Compiles directly to machine code, very fast and efficient.

Answer 2

Ranks:

1. Java: Almost fully object oriented, very easy syntax, programs run on any platform with Java Run Time. Supports garbage collection.

2. C++: Compiler available for many platforms. Moderately easy syntax. Part object oriented. Can perform very low level stuff.

3. C#: A near equivalent to Java for .NET. Program can only run on windows.

4. Pascal: Older language last I used was DOS based. Compiler for multiple platforms.

5. COBOL - New versions can do object oriented programming, very old, heard it was not a very favored language.
