This tutorial has been prepared for the beginners to help them understand the basic to advanced concepts of Java Programming language.
Prerequisites for This Tutorial
Java is related to C++, which is a direct descendant of C. Much of the character of Java is inherited from these two languages. From C, Java derives its syntax. Many of Java's object-oriented features were influenced by C++. In fact, several of Java's defining characteristics come from its predecessors (c and c++).
So our suggestion is that, to learn C OR C++ first then come back. if you will have the concepts any one of the language it will help you to understand the java quickly.
Is It Necessary to Learn C, C++ Before Java?
Well, the answer is a definite no. You do not need to learn C, C++ before Java. In fact, you can learn Java without any C, C++ knowledge at all. The two languages follow slightly different paradigms, have a different syntax and are used in different types of software development.
