SEE. J.Zelenksi, says that we can establish the following analogy between Java and C++: they are like a sort of cousins or closely-relatives. The reason is an historical one: the engineers that once came up the with the foundations of the Java programming language were educated under the C++ programming paradigm, which, by the way, was also influenced by the C paradigm. There is therefore a sort of historical sequence linking these three phases: Java in the nineties, C++ in the eighties and C in the seventies.
