What is the readability of c plus plus and java?

Answer 1

Readability has nothing to do with the language beyond a basic understanding of the language. Since Java and C++ have much in common with regards syntax, there's little difference in terms of their underlying readability. However readability is more about the design and "style" employed by the programmer. Well-named identifiers and functions aid the readability, as does the code organisation (modular and consistent) as well as good use of whitespace, indentation and, above all, comments that explain why a statement exists or why it was written in such a way, rather than what it does (the code itself tells you exactly what it does so there's no point in re-iterating the fact).
