What is the difference between java and Javascript?
Both are totally unrelated programming languages and no relation between them. Java is statically typed, compiled, runs on its own VM. Whereas Javascript is dynamically typed, interpreted, and runs in a browser and nodejs environments. Let’s see the major differences in a tabular format:
| Feature | Java | JavaScript |
|---|---|---|
| Typed | It’s a strongly typed language | It’s a dynamic typed language |
| Paradigm | Object oriented programming | Prototype based programming |
| Scoping | Block scoped | Function-scoped |
| Concurrency | Thread based | event based |
| Memory | Uses more memory | Uses less memory. Hence it will be used for web pages |
