A Pragmatic Comparison of Four Different Programming Languages

Abstract

Programming language debates are extremely common among programmers, computer science students and of course, software engineers. However, all of the above-mentioned professionals can concur that different languages excel in different scenarios. Software Engineers and programmers working on different projects can easily use different languages for different tasks during their work. Every year different programming languages are designed and created. In this Research, we will keep in focus the Four Horsemen of programming languages: C, C++, Python and Java; with respect to the criteria of time, speed and simplicity. The same optimized piece of pseudocode is used to write the code of the different programming languages mentioned above by following their respective syntax and rules. The results of the comparison will be displayed with the help of a table in order to simplify the final results for the reader.
