Key differences between COBOL and C++
| Characteristic | COBOL | C++ |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax. | C++ has a more concise and C-like syntax. |
| Paradigm | COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative. | C++ supports multiple paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. |
| Typing | COBOL is statically typed. | C++ is statically typed with support for type inference in some cases. |
| Performance | COBOL is known for its efficient batch processing capabilities. | C++ is generally considered to have better performance due to its low-level control. |
| Libraries and frameworks | COBOL has a limited number of libraries and frameworks available. | C++ has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for various purposes. |
| Community and support | COBOL has a smaller and more specialized community with limited support. | C++ has a large and active community with extensive support. |
| Learning curve | COBOL has a steeper learning curve due to its unique syntax and concepts. | C++ has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners. |
