I'm thinking to make my own network application. Which language do you recommend me to write with? C or C++?

Question

Program description:

a program that creates an exe(server) file which could be opened in a different machine, and control that machine by a client(Application)

Its for educational purposes just to test my capabilities in programming. However, which language would be better to program with, C or C++?

Language that is effecient and easier to maintain! If i program by C++, will the program be very inefficient comparing to C?

Answer 1

In general, C should only be used for low-level applications. C++ is not necessarily slower than C; it is only the functions provided in built-in headers that are slower (for example, streams in C++, such as cin, cout, and fstreams, are slower than C file pointers, but the difference is significant only when the amount of input/output data is large). However, if you will have to go through the operating system API, then the overhead will be the same for C and C++.

However, it will probably be easier to code it in Java, if this is an option.

Answer 2

As you might know c++ is basically the next version of c. i would chose c++ since it has nicer features such us clases.

Answer 3

Use C++ or Java.
