From my personal experience, C++ is much more powerful and can do some cooler stuff easier (such as Input: cin >> num as opposed to Scanner IN = new Scanner(System. in); num = IN.nextInt();), but Java is a lot easier to read and understand, especially revolving around inheritance (public class subClass extends baseClass as opposed to class subClass: public baseClass).
