C++ vs Java vs C#

In this lesson, we'll get to know the difference between the three popular object-oriented languages, i.e., C++, Java, and C#.

Although the design goals for creating Java were different than that of C++, Java had the leverage of overcoming and rectifying all object-oriented issues the programmers identified in C++, such as the diamond problem.
