C Java
C is a Procedural Programming Language. Java is an Object-Oriented language.
C was developed by Dennis M. Ritchie in 1972. Java language was developed by James Gosling in 1995.
It is a middle-level language as it is binding the gaps between machine level and high-level languages. It is a high-level language because the translation of code is taken place into machine language, which uses compiler or interpreter.
In the C declaration variable are declared at the beginning of the block. In Java, you can declare a variable anywhere.
Free is a variable used for freeing the memory in C. A compiler will free up the memory by calling the garbage collector.
C does not support threading. Java has a feature of threading.
C support pointers. Java does not support pointers.
Memory allocation can be done by malloc. Memory allocation can be done by a new keyword.
Garbage collector needs to manage manually. In Java, it is automatically managed by a garbage collector
C does not have a feature of overloading functionality. Java supports method overloading.
C offers support for call by value and call by reference. Java only supports a call by value.
