C++:
cout << "";

Java is slightly more verbose than necessary... (Though it definitely is useful in debugging)

I agree. The static import makes it possible to just say
out.println();

but I would have prefered something as short as printf

printf is C to go to next line you just add \n at the end of your string

I believe you can still use printf and scanf in C++ by including the <cstdio> header file...or was it <cstdlib>? Either way, out of curiosity I'd like to look at the syntax of these sometime.

  1.  #include <cstdio> 
  2. int main() {
  3.  printf("works");
  4.  return 0;
  5. }

Java: - The absence of properties. get set get set get set....
- No operator overloading
- User input:
BufferedReader key = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamRead er(System.in));

Can now use Scanner for user input. Cleaner but still just as cumbersome.

Okay here we go, I feel it's about time people conversed about the bullshit aspects of C++ (including the bullshit stuff brought forward from C). I'll begin with a few of my own grievances: 1) The whole "function declaration Vs object definition" fiasco, which results in the following (temporary creating) syntax: Blah poo = Blah();

I know about RAII and BS's response to previous requests, but I'd really love to see 'finally' available in C++ exception handling. Yes, we can live without 'finally' but it means a bit more typing (more classes) for simple scenarios (like calling LeaveCriticalSection() before a function returns). It would also make porting other languages to C++ a bit more simple. Another thing I'd like to see is a 'reentrant' keyword that can be...

Our IT guys are on a vendetta against MS Access (and Lotus Notes but they've won that fight). What I can't understand is, what's the problem? Why does IT hate MS Access so much. I have tried to find out who it is that actually wants to get rid of it, but I can't find anyone who will admit to trying to get rid of it. Nevertheless, I'm always hearing about how their "phasing it out" or "getting rid of it". Because no-one owns up I can't...

Criticism versus Constructive Criticism Xah Lee, 2003-01 A lot intelligent people are rather confused about criticism, especially in our “free-speech” free-for-all internet age. When they say “constructive criticisms are welcome” they mostly mean “bitching and complaints not welcome”. Rarely do people actually mean that “criticism without suggestion of possible solutions are not welcome” or “impolite criticism not...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
